Carer engagement in health care settings

This free, two-hour interactive webinar will feature a panel discussion and action-focused breakout room consultations exploring the engagement of carers* by health care services. Participation is encouraged from anyone with expertise in health care policy, service provision, research or lived experience of caring.

The Carer Knowledge Exchange is a partnership project delivered by Carers NSW and the Institute for Public Policy and Governance (IPPG) at the University of Technology Sydney, proudly funded by the NSW Government. The Exchange brings together carers, researchers, students, decision makers, professionals and service providers to share their knowledge about carers and learn from each other with the aim to improve outcomes for carers across Australia by connecting research to practice.

This interactive webinar is for anyone with an interest in connecting carer* related research to practice, including carers and former carers; academic and not-for-profit researchers; research students; policy makers and practitioners; and people who receive care.

*A carer is an individual who provides care and support to a family member or friend who lives with a disability, mental illness, alcohol or drug dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is frail due to age. A person receiving care might not have received a formal diagnosis for their condition or illness.
