The number of available Victorian carer households has continued to decline substantially over the last 12 months. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) figures below show Victoria lost over twice the number of carer households than it recruited in the previous three years where household exits significantly exceeded recruitments, with this year breaking an unfortunate record.

The FCAV's latest Carer Snapshot shows a loss of a further 93 households providing care in Victoria for 2023/24.
