New research reveals one-in-three Australians have cared for either a family member or friend, with two-thirds having only stepped up as a carer because no one else would. In this interview, Peter Greco talks with Mat who became carer at a very young age for both of his parents.

National Carers' Week is a time for Australians to recognise and celebrate the work that carers do across the country.
