Young Carers Network

Carers Australia

The Young Carers Network is a nationally coordinated resource to raise young carer awareness, provide information, and direct young carers to appropriate pathways for support. The organisation works to enable young carers to engage with each other through a range of opportunities to share and connect. It is also the platform to apply for the Young Carers Bursary Program, which supports young carers to continue with their education. The program offers 1,592 bursaries of $3,768 each year to assist with education needs and resources. Young carers across Australia can apply each year from September.
