630 carer households withdrew/inactivated; reasons include personal circumstances, not a surplus.

Carer household numbers are declining, not indicating a surplus.

โ€œThere are a range of reasons carer households may withdraw or be inactivated, including carer households that no longer wish to provide care; were assessed as family carers and did not wish to remain a carer following conclusion of the family care arrangement; or carers who experienced a change in life circumstances impacting their capacity to care such as illness, family composition, changes to accommodation, moving interstate or overseas or carer ageing.โ€
