Alex Topalian
Founder and Chairman
For Alex Topalian, a pivotal moment in his life came when his mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Experiencing first-hand the challenges and complexities of being an unpaid carer gave him a profound insight into the difficulties that many families face when supporting a loved one. This experience ignited Alex’s passion for advocating on behalf of carers and their families, motivating him to gain employment at Carer Support Inc., where he could offer guidance and assistance to those in similar circumstances.
Throughout his career, Alex has gained extensive experience working in various roles that allowed him to help vulnerable populations. He served as a youth worker for Families SA and later worked as a Coordinator in the After Hours Service for Disability SA, providing essential support to individuals and families in need.
Alex’s career has been driven by a dedication to improving the lives of those who’s difficulties often go unseen – unpaid carers, individuals living with disabilities, and families navigating complex challenges. He continues to support initiatives that empower carers, build stronger community networks, and ensure that individuals have access to the support they need to live meaningful, fulfilling lives.
