Meet Ash, the newest addition to our Dream Team! ๐
Joining us as our new Young Carer Support Coordinator (Coaching) in NSW, she describes herself in three words as determined, caring and fun ๐ฅณ
Her ultimate dream experience would be to whisk her family away to a water bungalow in Bora Bora to immerse themselves in the bluest of blue seas. That sounds pretty dreamy to us! ๐๏ธ๐
Welcome aboard, Ash!
โBeing able to make friends with people who are in the same boat as me has been super important in leading me to accept my caring role and embracing itโ - Sam, Big Dreamers program participant ๐ฌ

๐ฅณ Exciting news! The Federal Inquiry into the Recognition of Unpaid Carers in Australia report dropped last week and itโs a game-changer, especially for Young Carers. It`s all about giving them the acknowledgement and support they deserve. From expanding the definition of carers to making sure they`re recognised in big policy documents, this report is a big win for our Young Carers! ๐ช
Swipe through to have a look at some of our favourite key highlights from the report, and if you want to read more, check out our CEO Maddyโs latest blog post where she breaks down what these recommendations mean for Young Carers across Australia! ๐ in bio!
