From September to December 2020, a total of 1139 carers in Queensland completed our carer survey which seeks to understand carers’ experiences from both data related feedback and comments from carers. The data related feedback helps to develop a clear visual picture from the carer community and the comments provide carers with an opportunity to expand on the data informed feedback..
QFKC would like to thank every carer who has contributed by way of completing the 2020 Carer Survey; these reports provide invaluable insight into the system and help the system to continue to reflect on what is working well and where our challenges lie.
