ABOUT THE CARERS FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA
Established in 2015, The Carers Foundation provides support to Australia’s true unsung heroes – unpaid family carers. These selfless people give up their own lives to care for their loved ones with a disability or illness, often with no choice.
Founding director Ronnie Benbow OAM had always had a burning passion to support Carers since she was a young nurse, when she identified that Carers had worse health conditions than the person they were caring for.
Ronnie saw firsthand the impact of caring when a 15-year-old boy who was caring for his mother (who had experienced a massive stroke), took his own life as he could no longer cope since he was alone and unsupported.
Since then Ronnie has been working tirelessly to support unpaid family carers by providing preventative wellbeing programs with the purpose to avert mental and health crisis breakdowns from compassion fatigue.
