Carers + Employers

The Carers + Employers program (C+E) defines best-practice standards for supporting staff with caring responsibilities and is the only accreditation program that formally recognises carer-friendly employers in Australia.

Accreditation is offered at 3 levels:

Level 1: Activate

Level 2: Commit

Level 3: Excel

This enables employers to build from an initial level of support for carers in their workplace, to embedding innovative strategies across the organisation.

Creating and maintaining carer-friendly workplace makes excellent business sense and can have a positive impact on staff wellbeing, workforce management and wider corporate social responsibility.

The Carers + Employers team provide support and guidance throughout the accreditation process. Accredited employers and those in the process of gaining accreditation also have access to resources to build and embed carer support including toolkits, information sheets, webinars and an e-learning module for managers. Carers + Employers also has a national network of employers who share innovations and ideas for greater carer recognition, inclusion and support in the workplace.
