In a special National Carers Week event hosted by Janson Hews, the panel discussion included Elena Katrakis, CEO of Carers NSW, and Jacqueline de Mamiel, Young Carer Voice Lead at Little Dreamers Australia.

Janson is joined by Stacy, who cares for her son with a rare genetic condition. Stacy shares powerful insights on the importance of teaching her son self-advocacy through self-expression and curiosity, as well as the intersectionality between work, life and care.

Paul joins the Care for Carers podcast to tell us how he navigates caring for his two sisters whilst suddenly being faced with a new caring challenge in his family. Paul and Janson demystify the assumptions about being a carer and how leaders can make a difference to employees who are carers.

Madeleine Buchner, the founder and CEO of Little Dreamers, joins Care for Carers to discuss the difficulties of intergenerational care, the unique experiences of young carers, chronic to-do lists, digital literacy, and the importance of legislative change. Madeleine started Little Dreamers when she was nine years old, and it has now grown to be the leading Young Carer Organisation in Australia.
