We Are The Sandwich Generation
Every night, as Australia sleeps, millions of us lie awake - worrying and wrangling while squeezed between raising our own children, managing careers, and coordinating care for aging parents. We're caught in an intricate dance of love and duty, trying to preserve ourselves while carrying the weight of multiple generations on our shoulders.
Your story matters
As our population rapidly ages, more Australians find themselves caught unprepared in this crushing middle space between generations - which is why your story needs to reach Parliament and the Federal Health Minister to help shape the support that millions of families desperately need.
Join thousands of Australian families speaking up for change.
