We don’t believe it’s good enough to think that something is a good idea – we want to know that it is. We regularly draw on leading academics and research agencies to understand what’s important and what works.
Take a look at what we've learnt so far:
Research on Carers in the Workplace
Our Alignment
- Carer inclusion & employment research, evidence that flexible work, job redesign, and skilled managers improve retention and reduce absenteeism.
- Behavioural science, allyship frameworks and stigma-reduction techniques that create lasting culture change.
- Caregiving & mental health studies, protective factors like predictability, autonomy, and social support reduce burnout.
- Implementation science, practical models for embedding change in real workplaces and communities.
Aligned with the National Carer Strategy
We directly support the Strategy’s priorities:
Outcomes You Can Measure
Typical results within 8–12 weeks of program delivery:
- ↑ Manager confidence to support carers
- ↑ Carer disclosure rates & uptake of supports
- ↓ Unplanned absenteeism in trained teams

We provide:

- Manager behaviour checklists
- Quarterly impact summaries for boards & executives

Profit with purpose
Social Enterprise Impact
Everyday Allies Project and Carer Allies is a social enterprise. That means our profits don’t just keep the lights on, they fund carer support beyond our own programs. Every purchase helps us back grassroots initiatives that lighten the mental load, improve access, and restore dignity for carers.
Our target
30% of net profit to external carer support each year.
We’ll publish the exact percentage and dollars in our annual Impact Report.
