Tasmanian Carer Policy 2016
The Tasmanian Carer Policy 2016 recognises the commitment of unpaid Tasmanian carers and supports them in their caring role, and their active participation in economic, social and community life for themselves and the people for whom they care.
There are over 84,000 informal carers in Tasmania, of which 28,300 are primary carers. These include:
- ageing parents caring for adult children;
- children caring for parents; and
- grandparents who, for a variety of reasons, are now the primary carers of their grandchildren.
