The Regional Wellbeing Survey has partnered with Carers Australia to conduct a national survey into the wellbeing of carers and their support services. The Caring for Others & Yourself: Carer Wellbeing Survey asks people to share their experiences – past and present – of being a carer and the support services they use.

Results from the 2021 carer wellbeing survey can be found here:

• • Executive-Summary
  • Full-Report

Caring for other people can take many forms, and so can the benefits and challenges that come with providing care to another person. The 2021 Carer Wellbeing Survey asked about the types of care provided to others, and the types of supports or services accessed in caring roles, including the Australian Government Carer Gateway.

This project extends on previous work undertaken as part of the Regional Wellbeing Survey, which identified that carers living in rural and regional areas often experience challenges to their wellbeing, and described how these challenges varied for different carers.

You can download a copy of the survey questions here.

Mental Health Australia in consultation with their members is proud to release the following position statement on housing and mental health, which will form the basis of their advocacy in this area.

Launch Housing work to both support individuals experiencing homelessness and to address the root causes of homelessness: a lack of affordable housing.

In 2019 Launch Housing debuted one innovative solution to Victoria’s housing crisis – unlocking unused government land for tiny homes.

The Harris Transportable Housing project utilises nine parcels of vacant VicRoads land in Footscray and Maidstone to create 57 tiny homes for people with a chronic experience of homelessness. The tiny homes have been life changing for the people who call them home.

Solutions like this require collaboration, community support and the will to do things differently.

You may wish to support Launch Housing by signing their PETITION to solve homelessness by purchasing 500 currently vacant properties across Melbourne.

Please share the campaign with your friends, family and networks.
