Parliamentary Inquiry into Carer needs

last modified 15/05/2008 11:00

MMHA is urging carers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds who are looking after people living with a mental illness to make a submission to a new parliamentary inquiry into the needs of carers.

The Federal government has announced that it will establish an inquiry to determine how to better meet the needs of carers who look after those living with chronic illness, disabilities or frailty.

Federal MP, Annette Ellis, will chair the inquiry.

The inquiry has been established to determine social and economic barriers for carers and practical support measures. MMHA is urging carers from CALD backgrounds and carer organisations to make written submissions to the inquiry to ensure the issues affecting mental health carers from CALD backgrounds are heard.

 

If you wish to make a submission contact:

The House of Representatives Family and Community Committee - 02 6277 4372

or email: fchy.reps@aph.gov.au

Written submissions to the inquiry addressing the terms of reference must be made by 4 July 2008.  

The committee is due to report back to government in early 2009.
