Strategic Plan

Carers NSW vision is for an Australia that values and supports all carers.

Our goals are to;

• Be a leading carer organisation in which carers have confidence
• Actively promote carer recognition and support
• Actively support carers to navigate a changing service landscape that will be characterised by ongoing policy reform
• Promote connected community experiences and opportunities for carers that are inclusive of diverse carer groups
• Lead and advocate for carer-specific and carer-inclusive policy making, research and service delivery
• Continue to be a quality-driven, responsive and carer-focused organisation.

The Strategic Plan 2024-2027 is built around five key Strategic Directions to guide the work of Carers NSW;

1. Informed and supported carers and responsive communities
2. A policy and research environment that supports carers
3. Excellent service delivery
4. A sustainable, diverse and inclusive organisation
5. Strong stakeholder engagement and partnerships

Each Direction is supported by Strategies, a statement of the Outcomes sought and a description of Priority Projects to be undertaken.
