Recommendation 7

Require the Casey Commission to establish a workstream to reduce pressures on unpaid carers.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Casey Commission includes a specific workstream dedicated to reducing the pressures on carers, especially young carers. This workstream should consider how to support unpaid carers better, to ensure they get the respite they need and to look after their own health and wellbeing. It should also consider how businesses could be better incentivised to employ and support unpaid carers. (Recommendation, Paragraph 48) Costs to the care system
