We recognise the importance of supporting carers in the workplace, we are an accredited Carer-Friendly employer. 

Logo 501483480c4b1e8a8ba83733e78e2aff enhanced

At the CABWA, “Carer” is defined according to the Carers Recognition Act 2004 (WA). The full definition has been adopted by the CABWA and can be found in our Carer-Friendly Employment Practices policy. 

According to this definition, a carer is someone who provides unpaid care or assistance to a person living with disability, alcohol or other drug dependency, is frail or aged, or someone with mental health challenges or long term health conditions (including a chronic condition or terminal illness).

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners in the Perth region, the Whadjuk People of the Noongar Nation and acknowledge their special connection to land, waters and community.

Always was. Always will be.

We pay respects to all First Nations Peoples in Western Australia and their cultures, and to Elders, past and present.

Our Partnerships

We are part of a national network and member of Community Legal Centres Australia
