Report on the inquiry into Better Support for Carers
The parliamentary inquiry into Better Support for Carers has released its report. Carers ACT and the other Carers Associations around Australia all made extensive submissions following consultation with carers. Carers ACT welcomes the release of the report and urges the Federal Government to commit to fulfilling each of the recommendations in the report.
The Governments response to the inquiry into Better Support for Carers is now available online.
