There are millions of carers across Australia, each with unique circumstances and stories of their own. Tammy, Patrick, Teresa and Harry are among these people, all helping to care for a child with complex needs.

Twelve-year-old Ariel is like most teens her age. She is quietly sassy, has a wicked sense of humour and loves spending time with her friends. All of this is possible thanks to parenteral nutrition, which helped save her life.
