The State Government is developing a new Western Australia (WA) Carers Strategy (Strategy) with consultation for all unpaid carers and community members in WA now open until 12 December 2025.
Unpaid carers make a positive and significant difference to the lives of families, friends and the people they care for.
Carers are encouraged to support the development of the Strategy to ensure it reflects the experiences, challenges, and priorities of carers and responds to the diverse needs of carers in WA. Your participation in the survey will contribute to building a clearer picture of caring in WA, including who carers are, the types of care provided, and the impact of caring. Your feedback will shape the work of government, community and service providers to better support unpaid carers across WA.
Carers come from various backgrounds and age groups and each caring role is unique. The Strategy will set out a long-term vision for recognising and supporting the needs of carers, including those in regional and remote areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander carers, and young carers.
By completing the survey, you’ll be contributing to:
- Building a clearer picture of caring in WA - who carers are, the types of care provided, and the impact of caring.
- Ensuring carers’ voices are heard as the Strategy is developed.
- Guiding further consultation to make sure the Strategy responds to the diverse needs of carers.

Any data used will be deidentified to protect your privacy. Your responses will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and government policies to ensure confidentiality and proper use of your data.
