The care economy includes both paid and unpaid carers. And yet the focus with the Department of Health and Aged Care, aged and home care providers, peak bodies, professional associations, trade unions, and advocacy groups is on the paid economy of the 193,000 persons using permanent or respite residential care and the 258,000 persons receiving home care services.
