It is National Carers Week!
We want to express our gratitude to all of the amazing carers that are not only linked with Cafs but across the country.
Did you know there are over 3 million Australians who provide care to a family member or friend?
This week is all about recognising and celebrating these amazing carers in our community, without whom we would be lost!
You can support the carers in your life by checking in regularly, offering them a break where possible, showing your appreciation and much more!

On December 19, 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognise girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.
The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.
Cafs is currently implementing Gender Equity Action Plan, a 3 year plan which was developed to eliminate discrimination and improve access equity and participation for people who identify as female.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month.
It is time to shine a light on the importance of mental well-being. And a chance to educate ourselves and others about mental health issues, to break the stigma, and to encourage open conversations.
This is a great opportunity to check in with yourself, and your loved ones, take some time for self-care, and advocate for mental health within your community.
