Carers Australia Limited
About
Carers Australia is the national peak body representing the estimated 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia. As a service delivery organization rather than a traditional grant-maker, it coordinates with state and territory member organizations to provide advocacy, support services, and resources for carers of people with disability, chronic illness, mental health conditions, or older Australians needing care.
Tips for Applicants
Carers Australia is not a grant-making body. To access funding or support, organizations should contact their state/territory member organization directly, or check government grant programs for which Carers Australia may act as a fund administrator. The organization may occasionally release requests for tender for service delivery contracts.
Giving Philosophy
Carers Australia operates as a service delivery and advocacy organization rather than a philanthropic grant-maker. Their 'giving' takes the form of direct services, policy advocacy, and support to their network of state/territory member organizations rather than competitive grant programs. Revenue comes predominantly from government contracts and grants to deliver carer support programs.
