Carers supporting older Australians with mental health conditions at home often face stigma that few people see.

For National Carers Week (11 to 17 October), our *Carer Voices gallery shares 11 video stories based on the experiences of family carers who support older people with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.

Experience the gallery: https://loom.ly/kma-KCo

*To protect carers' privacy, the stories are told using actors and representative images.

On International Day of Older Persons, Silverchain hosted some of our wonderful clients and dedicated care team in Canberra for morning tea with the Minister for Aged Care and Seniors Sam Rae.

The Minister highlighted the Federal Government's change to Support at Home to ensure Personal Care services no longer require a co-contribution from clients, which comes into effect from 1 October 2026.

Thank you Minister Rae for sharing local stories and memories, hearing from some of our clients about their experience in Support at Home, and recognising our amazing aged care teams who ensure older people receive the care and services they need to support their dignity, independence and participation in the community.

People like James often don’t have anyone else they can turn to when things get tough, but this time he had you.

After spending eight years caring for his late mother and living with his own complex health conditions James has been hit hard by the increased cost of living.

During a home visit, James revealed to his Silverchain social worker Jacinta that he was struggling to afford both his medications and weekly groceries.

Thanks to donations to Silverchain Foundation, Jacinta could offer James a one-off grocery voucher to help him get through this very tough time.

Jacinta said it was wonderful to see the visible relief come over James when she gave him the voucher, and she is very grateful to the donors who made it possible.

Donations to Silverchain Foundation provide support for some of our most vulnerable clients who have no-one else to turn to in their time of greatest need.

You can help more people like James with a donation to Silverchain Foundation.
