Carer Inclusive Workplace

Our staff are also Carers

At Carers SA, we’re proud to champion a workplace culture that recognises, respects and supports Carers, importantly this includes 76% of our staff who are Caring or who have Cared.

The Carer-Inclusive Workplace Initiative, run by Carers Australia, helps workplaces support employees who provide unpaid care to family members or friends. With over 70% of our staff having lived experience as Carers, we deeply understand the challenges of balancing work and care responsibilities.

We actively promote:

• Flexible work arrangements
• Creating more Carer-friendly policies and practice for staff

These practices help ensure our staff feel empowered and valued, not just as professionals, but as individuals with caring responsibilities.

Carers SA is a proud participant in the Carer Inclusive Workplace Initiative and has undergone accreditation process through the Carer + Employer Accreditation framework too, reflecting our commitment to embedding Carer support into our culture, continually improving our policies and practices, and leading by example as the Peak body across the sector.

Join Us in Leading Change. We invite other organisations to explore how they can become more Carer-inclusive. Together, we can build workplaces that are not only productive but also compassionate and responsive to the needs of Carers.
