How many carers are there in Australia? I’m interested to know how many other people in Australia have assumed the role of a carer.

Hi there!
The most recent figures show that there are around 2.6 million carers in Australia. More than 770,000 of these people are primary carers (they take on the majority of care responsibilities), and around 1.5 million of them are balancing work and care.
Hope that answers your question.
