Join the ‘Carers Count’ campaign for the 2026 Victorian Election

Make Carers Count! Build skills and confidence to advocate with your local MP for change and help us achieve a different and better future for Victoria’s unpaid carers!

About this event:

Come along to this practical workshop designed to help you engage with Carers Victoria’s ‘Carers Count’ preelection campaign. Carers Victoria has developed tools and resources to help carers advocate for change and help us achieve a better future for Victoria’s unpaid carers.

By the end of this workshop, you will have built your skills and confidence to engage with the tools and resources for our Carers Count Campaign. You will:

  • know what you want to say to your local MP to help make life fairer for carers, using Carers Victoria’s five-point plan as a reference
  • confidently submit your advocacy letter or perhaps ask for a meeting with your local member of Parliament
  • be able to share this information with other carers and the wider community and download resources (like a poster for example) to assist you to spread the word.

Please note:

You will receive a short 20-minute background film prior to the workshop to inspire you before we get started. We invite you to view the video before the session if you can.

Location:

This is an online event and will be held on MS Teams. A link will be provided upon registration.

Who should attend:

This session is open to all carers and their families, carer support group facilitators and leaders who would like to learn how to share Carers Victoria’s tool kit and resources with their group.

Registration:

Attendance is free, but registration is required.

Kim Repcak and Sally Camilleri are Carer Educators at Carers Victoria. Both have many years of experience working with carers and facilitating groups. They have a passion for supporting carers to have their say and to flourish. The session will also be supported by Kim and Sally’s colleagues from the Policy and Advocacy team at Carers Victoria.
