Carers in Australia -- Chapter 2. Informal disability and aged care.Currently around 2.9 million Australians provide unpaid help and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is aged and frail. Carers are a key but often unacknowledged part of Australia's health system. The annual replacement value of care was estimated in 2010 to be over 40 billion. Carers come from all walks of life, and spend on average about 40 hours per week providing care for many of the most vulnerable people in our community. At some stage in our lives, most of us will be, or need, a carer. Caring can be personally rewarding, but it is also a role with many demands and challenges, including financial hardship, strains on health and wellbeing, social isolation and career disadvantage.Issues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;v. 342.Care of the sickAgingDisabilitiesCare of the sick.Aging.Disabilities.362.0425Healey Justin1086113MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQAuAdUSABOOK9910790288503321Carers3688964UNINA
