THE House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs yesterday launched an Inquiry into the recognition of unpaid carers.
Chair of the Committee, Peta Murphy MP, said, "this inquiry will examine the effectiveness of the Carer Recognition Act 2010 in acknowledging and raising awareness of the important role of unpaid carers in Australian society, and will consider if legislative reform is needed".
The Committee is seeking written submissions, ideally of no more than 10 pages, on the inquiry terms of reference by 11 Aug HERE.
The inquiry is not considering the adequacy of payments for carers.
