Carers in Australia -- Chapter 2. Informal disability and aged care. 330 $aCurrently around 2.9 million Australians provide unpaid help and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is aged and frail. Carers are a key but often unacknowledged part of Australia's health system. The annual replacement value of care was estimated in 2010 to be over 40 billion. Carers come from all walks of life, and spend on average about 40 hours per week providing care for many of the most vulnerable people in our community. At some stage in our lives, most of us will be, or need, a carer. Caring can be personally rewarding, but it is also a role with many demands and challenges, including financial hardship, strains on health and wellbeing, social isolation and career disadvantage. 410 0$aIssues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;$vv. 342. 606 $aCare of the sick 606 $aAging 606 $aDisabilities 615 0$aCare of the sick. 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aDisabilities. 676 $a362.0425 701 $aHealey$b Justin$01086113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790288503321 996 $aCarers$93688964 997 $aUNINA
