Carers Week: What Parents & Carers Need to Plan Ahead – with Danielle Robertson

Parents At Work Podcast

National Carers Week in October every year aims to recognise and celebrate the incredible work of carers of all shapes and sizes. In this podcast, Kiri Stejko interviews Danielle Robertson from DR Care Solutions about her experience with carers and the importance of planning ahead for the future. With over 2.7 million family and friend carers in Australia it is highly likely that there are people in your life who are providing unpaid care for someone close to them. Danielle discusses what employers and co-workers can do to help carers get the support they need to keep up this often very taxing work. They also open up the conversation in order to eradicate the stigma in the workplace surrounding people with caring responsibilities outside of work to help them feel comfortable to use the resources available.
