Millions of people around Australia are making a difference, caring for their loved ones, the unpaid and underestimated in value.

Jim Toohey, Chair of Carers Queensland, is working towards bettering the lives of family carers, who give so much.

In today's society, the help from the families of individuals who cannot care for themselves is needed more than ever.  

The economic state of the nation is taken into account and the funding that can be discussed to assist these people and their constant support. 

Jim has been an advocate for policy development, attempting to better the current state of the caring sector. 

It’s important to know that anyone can assist carers. Even knowing someone caring and spending some time creating that social connection can make a difference.
