Supporting a loved one or family member requiring aged care is a complex, emotionally charged, expensive and time-consuming process. Many employees face the prospect of providing care and support to elderly family members who have increasing care needs.
The onset of Dementia, a fall, restricted mobility or a serious health condition are common issues encountered as our loved one’s age. Given Australia’s ageing population there is a growing need for workplaces to review their capacity to support employees who are also carers.
