Recent extreme weather events across NSW, including drought, bushfire, heatwaves, flooding and thunderstorms have posed practical challenges and considerable stress for many carers and the people they care for. Some carers have had trouble accessing necessary medication for the person they care for, placing their health at risk, while others have faced significant barriers to evacuating their family safely due to mobility limitations and unprepared infrastructure.
