Content, Contributors, Partners and Friends
Their content is aimed at improving the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and financial wellbeing of carers. Some of Australia’s most well-known and household names contribute to the publication, namely Ita Buttrose, Jean Kittson, Maggie Beer, Maree McCabe and Anika Wells. These experts provide unique insights, helpful perspectives and creative solutions to the most common challenges carers face.
Their friends and partners at Carers Australia who advocate for Carers Gateway, as well as OPAN, National Seniors, COTA (For older Australians), contribute to the publication by sharing their latest advocacy activities and how the new Aged Care Reforms are continuing to reshape the Aged Care sector. Each issue includes a comprehensive list of service providers who can offer practical hands-on assistance.
Have a laugh and relax!
For some “me time”, readers can flip to the “Fun & Games” pages to take some important time-out, away from their demands. This section is full of fun activities like puzzles, brain games, sudoku, word searches, crosswords and a new colouring competition. There is also the popular Recipe section headed by Maggie Beer with easy and delicious recipes to enjoy at home.
