Are you young and caring for someone in your family? Would you like to share your experience with other young carers?
Well, you are not alone! Of the estimated 307,000 family carers in our State, about 40,000 are aged under 26 years of age.
You might like to know that a newly-developed Young Carers website has been launched following a one-off $200,000 funding investment by the State Government.
The website provides a support network to connect with to share ideas and problems. It was designed with input from young carers who formed a Young Carers Advisory Group to help develop the site.

Young carers often feel different to their friends or classmates because their lives are primarily consumed with caring for a loved one. This new website will do a lot to connect young carers with others in the same position who will understand their circumstances.
