A National Carers Card should provide recognition for all full-time unpaid Carers who are saving Australia $77 Billion PA for their selfless care 24/7 - 7 days a week. 

A National Carers Card should be like a Seniors Card to provide all Carers with Medicare only for their medical expenses, cheap transport, movie and theatre tickets. 

Full-time unpaid Carers only receive $68.25 per week for looking after a loved one and should be provided with a National Carers Card.

Even when their loved one, goes into full-time care, the carer should continue to receive their carers allowance up until they pass away, as they continue to support and look after their loved ones in care.  

Why is it the unemployed receive more benefits for doing nothing?

In Australia 2 million Carers are not on a pension. Only 800,000 Australian Carers are on a pension.

Most full-time unpaid Carers 1 in 10 globally, give up their careers, spend their super and shares on living expenses with zero tax concessions and most lose their homes. 

Like Climate Change which is affecting everyone, we have a global humanitarian crisis with our full-time unpaid Carers.

If this is not addressed in a holistic way, governments around the globe will be leaving a gigantic legacy of full-time unpaid Carers who are forced onto welfare in their old age. Which will mean much higher taxes for all future, younger, smaller generations to support Carers in their old age for 30 years or more

Medicare and superannuation were introduced to protect our futures, we now need to introduce new strategies to protect all our futures.

All full-time unpaid Carers globally deserve to be recognised, respected supported and protected with their health and financial security.

Next year will pursue my dream of one day speaking at the United Nations with my global strategies for every government to implement.

I am in the process of setting up my own Carers website called Carers Are Angels. 

Thank you for signing this petition to help all Carers globally and create a National Carers Card
