Caring is rewarding, difficult, and challenging. Carers are society’s unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to looking after family and friends. At MCCI, we work with 20 carers from multicultural backgrounds who meet monthly to support each other. By creating a community of carers from all over the world who share experiences and knowledge, the experience of looking after someone is less lonely.

This fundraising campaign is a small gesture to recognise their selflessness and commitment to care for others by organising annual retreats to provide much needed relief. All carers need a break from caring now and then.

Every carer needs company, every carer needs advice, and every carer needs support. It is estimated that to replace the 3 million unpaid carers in Australia would cost $77.9 billion (Deloitte).
