Publisher
Disability Caregivers Australia
Description

This report uses the results of the 1998 Australian Bureau of Statistics Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers to present a picture of informal care in Contemporary Australia, focusing on the questions: who are the primary carers, who do they assist, and what does caring involve? The report explores the impact of caring work and patterns of informal service use with informal care.
