Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who cares for the carers?
Q: So Carefree was started by two brothers, Charlie and James Ricketts in 2016, after they'd cared for their sisters, who sadly died of cancer.
They started rolling it out nationwide by 2019, and now have nearly 50,000 carers registered with expectations to deliver 100,000 breaks in the next five years.
Who cares for the carers?
Q: Tell me about what that process was like and what they get now.
The process to change policy and achieve inclusion in government budgets is long, but they managed to implement a carer's allowance for those who care for someone with severe or complex disabilities.
The positive power of your peers
Q: How is the Agewell scheme funded?
It is funded partly by the health service, which covers half the costs, with the rest coming from philanthropic donations and local government grants.
The positive power of your peers
Q: Why does age really matter in peer support?
Being the same age helps people feel more understood and trusted, making it easier to discuss shared experiences and health issues.
Saving mothers with portable ultrasound
Q: What happens if the devices get spoiled, broken, or stop working?
They cost $2,000, making them difficult to replace; financial sustainability is crucial for long-term usage.
