Elaine is a carer for two of her three children. As a Malaysian Australian, Elaine experienced more nuanced difficulties as a carer, inspiring her to create her own support work business with her husband.

I pretty much burned out a long time ago and that's okay. I don't think it's resilience. It's just do it.

Care to Share is an Impact Studios podcast hosted by Prudence Granger, Carer-in-Residence for the Carer Knowledge Exchange.

It features open and honest conversations with carers discussing the challenges, roadblocks, and joys of caring.

• Produced by Siobhan Moylan.
• Sound Design by Melissa May.
• Impact Studios Executive Producer is Sarah Gilbert.

The Carer Knowledge Exchange brings together carers, former carers, researchers, policy makers and practitioners to share their knowledge and learn from each other, improving outcomes for carers by connecting research to practice. 

The project is a partnership between Carers NSW and the Institute for Public Policy and Governance at the University of Technology Sydney, and is proudly funded by the NSW Government. Find out more at www.carerknowledgeexchange.com.au.
