IG24 – Interest group for 24-hour live-in care workers in Austria is a young association founded by personal care workers and activists with the aim of exclusively representing the interests of the professional group in a comprehensive manner. We are a solidary, active and motivated community that sticks together and is committed to improving working conditions in the industry. Through a common development of structures for consultation and accompaniment, information, mutual help and self-representation, we support all 24/24 care workers in Austria, regardless of their nationality, who want to work within the framework of their community. The self-initiative of the 24/24 live-in care communities, as well as their involvement and direct participation in IG24 activities are our most important tools.

Working Life Research Centre (FORBA) was founded in 1991 and is an interdisciplinary, nationally and internationally oriented research institute. The focus of the scientific research is on labour market and social policy issues. Integrated into the disciplines of sociology, political science, economics and business informatics, both basic and applied research is carried out. One of the main areas of research is the employment and working conditions of people working in the care and nursing sector - both in Austria and internationally. The transfer of scientific findings into social practice in the form of consultations, conferences, lectures, media appearances and publications is an integral part of the institute's activities.

The CuraFAIR project of Volkshilfe Flüchtlings- und MigrantInnenbetreuung Gmbh provides free and direct counseling for 24-hour care workers from Upper Austria, Styria and Vienna. Since CuraFAIR also organizes regular community meetings ("Caregivers Cafes") in different localities from Upper Austria, Styria and Vienna, the current project can also be presented and promoted to the target group directly, on site.
