National Carers Week 2026 Wrap Up!

Throughout this week, we've shared little reminders about the importance of looking after yourself while caring for someone living with dementia. From taking a few moments for yourself to reaching out for support, we hope these reminders have encouraged you to make your own wellbeing a priority too.

It was wonderful to see some of our carers come together at the Carers Victoria afternoon tea in the city, alongside the Minister for Carers and Volunteers - an opportunity to connect, share experiences and celebrate the incredible contribution carers make every day.

To all the dementia carers in our Caladenia community, thank you for the compassion, patience and dedication you bring to your caring role.

It’s Day 5 of our well-being series for National Carers Week 2026! Today’s tip is to do something that is just for you! You can’t pour from an empty cup.

• Catch up with a friend
• Treat yourself to a solo lunch outing
• Revisit an old hobby or get stuck into your existing one
• Get to an exercise class
• Book in for a massage
• Call someone who makes you smile
What will you do just for yourself?
