Carer's Recognition Bill

Please send through your network this link - http://caring4carers.com.au/ - out to ask friends and family to sign the petition to ensure that the NSW parliament passes the oppositions Carers Recognition Bill 1010.

The bill recognises carers exist (sad but true, there is no legislation in NSW or Victoria recognising we exist). The bill entiltles carers to an assessment. It will legislate a Ministerial Carers Advisory Council comprising more than half representation from primary carers.

We need to make the numbers too big for NSW Labor to not pass the bill.
This is the year leading up to a state election early next year, the perfect time to ensure the passage of this bill.

The Herald article from yesterday is attached.

Warm Regards, Nell Brown
