Rydges Canberra
18 & 19 September 2003
Caring Matters - A National Debate will be a conference to raise national debate on the strategic and policy matters that affect the lives of Australia's 2.3 million unpaid family and other informal carers.
With the trend away from residential support, the demand for unpaid informal care has grown enormously. This trend is expected to accelerate as the Australian population ages.
I invite you to participate in this event, to come and listen to what the experts and opinion leaders are saying and to make your own contribution to the debate and to network with others who share similar interests in caring.
I look forward to welcoming you to the conference.
Louise Gilmore
President, Carers Australia
