Funded Activity Summary

A large number of Australians provide care for an aged or disabled relative. This study will investigate the health of these family carers, if it changes after care-giving starts and how it varies with the duration and amount of care-giving. It will provide information about these effects in different groups such as those with time pressures due to childcare and employment as well as those with different levels of access to resources and support. It will help with policies to support carers.
