Carers NSW: Young Carers

The Young Carer Program at Carers NSW provides information and referral support to young carers in NSW and the professionals, educators and community members who support them. The Young Carer Program supports young carers through:

  • Linking young carers in with practical supports that meet their needs, such as other services and programs

  • Providing information to young carers, parents, and other stakeholders through our monthly eNewsletter, YC eNews

  • Developing resources to raise awareness of young carers in the community

  • Delivering Young Carer Awareness Training and other information sessions to help raise awareness of young carers in schools, universities and organisations
