This isn’t just a film. It’s a call to action. A celebration of courage. A love letter to Australia’s unseen carers and all those living with PTSD.

Today, we honour the mothers who hold it all together — those who turn battlefields into safe havens, who carry the weight of trauma while keeping the warmth of home alive. 💖

To the carers, the partners, the mothers of first responders and veterans, and those navigating the invisible scars of PTSD — we see you. Your love is a lifeline, your strength a beacon. You are the unsung heroes in stories of survival and resilience.

This Mother’s Day, let’s remember the women who transform chaos into comfort and struggle into triumph. 💛

07/05/2025

PTSD is often hidden – and so is the toll it takes on families.

In Australia, millions of unpaid carers support loved ones with disability, illness or mental health conditions. Among first responder and veteran families, PTSD adds another layer of complexity – and closest loved ones, whether that’s a partner, parent, or child, are left to carry the weight, often alone.

Through this campaign, we’re asking a simple question: Who cares for the carers?

Help us raise awareness, break the stigma and create real change.

👋 It’s been a while....but we're back!

Produced with investment from Screen Queensland, Seeding Time Pictures and Kym Melzer Production, and supported by Carers Queensland, Carers NSW, Carers NT and Carers Tasmania, PTSD Love Stories first aired on ABC Compass back in 2021, and we were overwhelmed by your support – over 465,000 viewers tuned in. Since then, the stories of Kim, Cathy and Katie have continued to ripple out.

But the need to #𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆𝑭𝒐𝒓𝑻𝒉𝒆𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒓𝒔 is stronger than ever, with over 3 million carers across Australia. That’s one in nine Australians taking on an unpaid caring role.*

We've got some exciting things happening, starting with 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒂 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒂𝒚 on Wednesday 11 June. It’s a moment to honour the courage behind the uniform — and the quiet strength beside it.

Let’s raise our voices together to break the stigma around mental health, and push for better recognition and support for carers.
