Today, Are Media launches the "Cost of Caring" campaign with Carers Australia, calling on the government to guarantee superannuation for the some 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia. Carers provide 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care annually, worth nearly $80 billion, yet are in financial crisis, losing an average of $175,000 in superannuation and $392,500 in lifetime earnings. As the next iteration of Are Media's Change AREgenda, this campaign amplifies carers' voices, urging action from both the Government and the Opposition. Are Media CEO, Jane Huxley said, “the ‘Cost of Caring’ campaign will involve content and advertising across every available Are Media touchpoint to drive awareness and education, encouraging our almost 8 million strong monthly audience to take action through social media, signing a petition and engaging with local MPs and other key decision makers." Annabel Reid, Carers Australia CEO, emphasised the campaign's significance in securing real benefits for carers. “If these changes were implemented by the current Government, we would begin to see real-life benefits for a community in Australia providing at least $80 billion of care services for free to those who need it most,” Annabel said.
