So important

Adopting the CARE practice model has been a game changer for me—not just in how I approach my work, but in how I navigate relationships and interactions in every aspect of life. CARE’s trauma-informed principles provide a structured framework for supporting others with empathy, understanding, and intention. It’s a reminder that being trauma-informed isn’t just a professional skill—it’s a mindset that can transform how we connect with people everywhere.

Success with senior care is so rewarding

We are excited to share findings from the 2024 National Carer Survey, focusing on young carers across Australia. This snapshot provides valuable insights into the lives of young carers, including geographical distribution, the nature of their caregiving responsibilities, and how these caring roles impact various aspects of their lives. Importantly, the survey points to key support needs of young carers. such as improved awareness and understanding of young carers, supporting them to self-identify and access services and supports. This is not without nuance. Satellite is keenly aware that many young people may not identify with the term 'young carer' and even more do not self-identify for fear of stigma or implications of disclosure. As a first step, we encourage all members of the public to look at the survey to gain a snapshot of young carers in Australia and what action needs to be taken. See the 2024 National Carer Survey fact sheet here 👇 If you want to explore how we could work together to address the key support needs, reach out via hello@satellitefoundation.org.au.
