With the weather on the Mid North Coast grey and soggy right now, it's nice to be reminded of sunshine and sizzling barbecues shared with great friends ☀️

Recently, our Coffs Harbour Rec Trip group made the most of a beautiful blue-sky day, supported to get outdoors, whip up a barbecue and enjoy a stroll in each other's company.

What do you like to do on a sunny day?

Lerissa has been in a caring role since she was 16 years old.

After experiencing carer burnout herself, she knows how much a genuine check-in can mean.

"If you see someone struggling, take the time to ask if they're okay and really listen. That is so valuable."

For carers, support doesn't always have to be practical or complicated. Sometimes it's having someone who creates space for an honest conversation, listens without judgement, and reminds you that you're not carrying everything alone.

This National Carers Week, we're helping make carers visible by sharing the experiences of colleagues who understand the realities of caring for someone they love.

If you're a carer and need support, information or practical assistance, visit Carer Gateway.

For National Carers Week, we're sharing the voices of colleagues who are carers.

For Amanda, caring for her children and grandchildren has taught her to expect the unexpected.

"When you're caring for others, one of the most important things is learning to let go of expectations and being prepared for the unexpected. What makes the biggest difference from others is compassion, understanding and support."

This , let's create communities where carers feel seen, understood and supported.

For Michelle, being a carer is something she lives both professionally and personally every day.

As a grandmother helping to raise her grandson, who lives with cerebral palsy, Michelle spends her time outside of work balancing appointments, routines, advocacy, and above all, love and support.

"Some days can be particularly challenging. Working in the disability industry and then returning home to continue providing the same level of care, love, respect, and support to my own family can be emotionally and physically demanding. However, it's also incredibly rewarding.

One thing I have learned is that families and support staff often have more in common than they realise. We all experience difficult days, we all carry responsibilities that others may not see, and we are all doing our best to support the people we care about.

It's important to remember that we're in this together. A little kindness, understanding and compassion can go a long way because we never truly know what someone may be facing once they leave work and return home.

Caring for others starts with caring for ourselves and supporting one another along the way❤️"

More than 60% of Ability Options colleagues have lived experience supporting a person with disability or a significant medical condition outside of work.

For National Carers Week, we asked some of our colleagues who are carers to share what they wish friends, family and communities understood about their experience.

For Isabell, it's about having a safe space to be honest — without judgement or guilt.

"Working in this role while also caring for someone I love gives me an understanding of both sides. Many people finish their shift and go home to rest. For those of us who are also carers at home, we go home and continue the support, the capacity building, the appointments, and the planning.

The strategies need practising, and there are everyday moments that take more patience and energy than people might realise.

Sometimes carers hesitate to speak because they don't want to sound like they're complaining about someone they love. But we need somewhere to put the hard feelings too. Often, all we need is someone who will listen without judgement or pressure to put a positive spin on it.

This is our life. We love the person we care for, and it can still be hard and exhausting. We keep putting one foot in front of the other, but it helps to know someone is there for us too."

This National Carers Week, we're shining a light on the more than 3 million carers across Australia who quietly support their loved ones every day 💜

They are the family members, friends, neighbours and advocates who help others navigate life's challenges, often while balancing their own.

This week let's make carers visible. A simple thank you, a kind message, a helping hand, or a small act of kindness can mean more than you know.

Join us in recognising and celebrating the incredible carers who hold our communities together.
