About this listen

🎙️ Power to Care Radio

Real conversations. Real carers. Real community.

Power to Care Radio is a weekly community radio program bringing the voices of unpaid carers out of the shadows and into the centre of the conversation.

Broadcast on Main FM, the show is hosted by lived-experience advocates and explores the realities of caring across disability, mental health, chronic illness, ageing, and complex family life — with honesty, warmth, humour, and heart.

Each episode blends:

  • Lived experience stories (the raw and the real)
  • Practical information from across health, disability, aged care, and carer support systems
  • Community connection through music, culture, and shared language
  • Light-hearted segments that create space to breathe, laugh, and feel less alone

Power to Care Radio is not about “fixing” carers — it’s about seeing them, valuing them, and building a more connected, carer-aware community.

🎧 For carers. By carers. With the whole community invited.

    In today's program, we welcome our very first guest, Michelle's BFF, otherwise known as her non-sexual life partner, who talks about the transformation she's seen in Michelle's life as she's adopted the role of a carer.
    We will include our usual segments (for the second time lol) including "jargon of the day", "carers' mixed tape" and "the carers who do not care club".
