Dear all,

Do you know a carer you would like recognised for their role supporting someone with a disability or illness?  

The Local Carer Awards Program recognises the vital role of carers in the community, and to further the outstanding contribution of individual local carers the Government is introducing this annual Awards program aims to recognise carers who have achieved something outstanding and at the same time raise awareness of, and focus public attention on, the vital role played by carers.

There are over 750,000 carers in New South Wales who provide vital support to older people and people with a disability or an illness.  People needing care include children or adults with a disability, and frail or elderly people.  One carer will be selected from nominees in each State electorate to receive a Carer Award Certificate and a cash prize of up to $2,500!

The NSW Local Carer Awards Program aims to recognise the diverse range of carers including (but not limited to):


        a) Aboriginal carers
        b) carers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
        c) people caring for a family member with a physical and/or an intellectual disability
        d) young people with caring responsibilities
        e) aging carers
        f) carers of people with a mental illness
        g) carers of people with a chronic illness
        h) carers from rural and remote areas

The following categories of carers may also be considered when making nominations:
