Thousands of unpaid carers on the Gold Coast are struggling with social isolation and financial strain, coupled with emotional and physical exhaustion as they put the health of those they care for before their own. This is the warning of Carers Australia, which says one in eight people are carers, bringing the number of Gold Coast carers to about 62,500, according to the Care for Carers report, commissioned by Amcal in partnership with Carers Australia.
