Series: Beyond the Body: Women’s wellbeing- science, equity & impact

In this episode, host Professor Amanda Henry speaks with Associate Professor Lizzie Muller about the often invisible world of carers — who they are, what they do, and why care work remains a deeply gendered issue. Drawing on personal experience and her research at UNSW, Lizzie unpacks how caring responsibilities intersect with career progression and what can be done to better support carers at work. A candid conversation about recognition, advocacy, and the real impact of care on women's wellbeing.
