This week is #NationalCarersWeek is a time to recognise the exceptional role carers play in the lives of those they care for.

Carers Australia’s 2024 Carer Wellbeing Survey shows that carers are three times as likely to report being lonely compared to non-carers, have higher than average rates of psychological distress compared to the general population, and consistently experience poorer financial wellbeing.

This week's theme this year is ‘Show them you care’ with the aim to raise awareness of the family and friends who care for people with living or lived experience of mental health challenges, disability, chronic illness, substance-related issues, or the aged.

Let’s celebrate and thank carers for the incredible work they do and show them we care. Learn more at carersweek.com.au

On behalf of the MHACA Board, I am thrilled to announce that Nicole Pietsch has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of MHACA. Nicole will start in the role in mid-November.

Nicole has been an integral part of MHACA for the past 5 years, and has a fantastic reputation in the community, as a passionate advocate for Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and for the provision of quality, accessible mental health services.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to outgoing CEO, Dira Horne, for her outstanding leadership over the past three years. We wish you all the best on your next adventure, Dira.

We look forward to this exciting new chapter under Nicole’s guidance and leadership.
