AMCAL has released the results of a research report commissioned in partnership with Carers Australia showing many of Australia's 2.8 million unpaid carers aren't looking after themselves.
As well as physical demands, carers are experiencing emotional and financial pressure, while 15% of respondents said they felt socially isolated due to being time-poor.
The report was released to mark National Carers Week which aims to highlight the "outstanding contribution unpaid carers make to Australia each and every day".
The replacement value of unpaid care in Australia is estimated at over $60b annually.
