Carers Alliance - A New Political Party

On the 3rd of April, 2007 the Carers Alliance was registered as an incorporated Association in NSW with the express purpose of forming a political party. The mission of this new political party is to fill the void which exists in the political landscape and provide a political expression of the frustration and anger of carers of people with disability, mental and chronic illness and problems associated with frail-age.

Help us gain political traction to influence government to give carers a better deal. It is services and support that carers need not tokenism.

I am convinced that politicians and their bureaucrats never do anything out of altruism or because they care. They only act when it is politically expedient to do so. We want to make the issues that affect carers a political problem that precipitates political action to solve it.
