Carers WA Conference 2026

About the Conference

Carers WA Conference 2026, leading into National Carers Week, will inspire, inform and celebrate carers across WA. As Carers WA proudly celebrates 30 years of supporting carers across WA, the event will reflect the importance of working collectively to navigate the current and emerging issues faced by carers. The dynamic program will address the topics which matter most to carers. 
Sector professionals, carers with lived experience and motivated speakers will share their stories and insights. Connect, contribute and collaborate with other carers and program participants.  Carers matter. You matter.
