It ’ s a wrap : Celebrating carers in 2023 !
Carers Week
High Tea at the MCG honours carers during Carers Week
Over 400 unpaid carers took centre stage at our ‘ Carers High Tea at the MCG ’ in October .
Sunshine and blue skies provided a joyous canopy for the High Tea that saw carers across Victoria gather to enjoy some downtime at one of Australia ’ s premiere sporting venues .
The event acknowledged and celebrated carers for the essential role they play , every day , every week .
Tassia Michaleas , Merri Health CEO , said “ It is truly an honour to join you today to celebrate National Carers Week and the tireless work carers
everywhere do . We recognise the commitment , dedication and hard work carers provide every day ; and we look forward to continuing to support you and carers state-wide each day .”
Actor and comedian Genevieve Morris connected deeply with the audience as she shared her own bittersweet caregiving journey , while Hawthorn AFL great Robert ‘ Dipper ’ DiPierdomenico ’ s humour − as broad and bold as his moustache − tickled the funny bone of anyone who has cared for an elderly loved one .
