  • A TOOLKIT: How Carers in Victoria Can Advocate for Change
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in Victoria can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in VIC by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In Victoria, Caring Fairly is represented by Carers Victoria, and Tandem Inc. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.

Instead of telling you myself what has been happening, I’ve shared some Prime Minister Scott Morrison MP, Ginevra Hosking from Committee for Greater Frankston and Chris Michael Lamb, Liberal candidate for Frankston, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy MP and Shadow Public articles, magazine clippings and feedback from Crewther MP talking about the benefits of the rail project for Frankston Hospital Transport Minister David Davis MP announcing State Liberal funding community members so you can hear from others about some projects and activities in Mike Hast for “many residents in Frankston City and the infrastructure. It’s vital to improve mass transit Mornington Peninsula”. across the city and across the state,” Mr Dunkley. Federal Budget – and the winner is: Frankston! “I call on the Andrews Labor Government Turnbull said.
