Unpaid caregivers need greater recognition and support to continue the care they provide to their families and friends, and researchers have identified priorities outlining how to achieve this. Flinders University's Research Center for Palliative Care, Death and Dying has published a paper that recognizes the increasing demand and reliance on unpaid caregivers to assist in care provision, which leaves them facing high levels of emotional, social, physical and financial burdens.
