Peer Support
AGES 6 - 25
Our Peer Support program is delivered in a group setting and provides a safe space for Young Carers to connect with other young people ‘who just get it’.
Throughout the program, Young Carers have the opportunity to connect with other Young Carers who have a range of different caring roles and responsibilities, in a safe and inclusive environment led by our friendly staff.
The regular sessions include a fun ice breaker, interactive games and activities to stimulate discussions focused on health and wellbeing, identity, and caring roles. The program is a great way to create friendships and learn from each other’s shared experiences.
To get involved in this program, please apply for support below.

Meet Ruby 👋
Ruby is 10 years old and helps to care for her sister, who has Autism and ADHD.
Ruby has quite a hands-on caring role, helping her sister with everyday living tasks to keep her calm and happy 😌💕
Ruby`s Dream Experience was to meet the Tasmania JackJumpers Basketball team and attend their training session! 🏀
She was also treated to a night’s stay at Hotel Grand Chancellor in Hobart.
"Thank you so much for the awesome experience. It was amazing and the JackJumpers team was so nice! I learnt lots of new things + new drills. I also managed to get photos and signatures. At the end of the training I got a prize from Will Magnay, a blow up basketball!" 🙌

We had a blast winding it back to the 90s at last year`s Trivia Night 🙌🛼
We`re still feeling the nostalgia, so this year, we`re taking it up a notch with a 70s Disco Fever theme🕺 We can`t wait to see you all sporting your bell-bottoms, platform shoes, and big hair!
Take a trip down memory lane with these throwback photos from last year`s event, and get ready to create more memories with us this year. Expect loads of fun prizes, games, lolly bars, a silent disco, trivia (duh!) and so much more to get excited about 🪩
✨ Book now via the link in our bio.
See you there!

To our amazing community,
In the past few years, we`ve seen demand for our programs and services outstrip our resources to deliver – mainly as a result of COVID-19 impacts, rolling natural disasters, and immense cost of living pressures.
Our goal is that no Young Carer ever has to sit on a wait list, but currently that`s not our reality.
That`s why we`ve been working hard on a pretty special campaign that we can`t wait to share with you soon.
Throughout the campaign, you’ll hear the stories of four incredible Young Carers. You`ll learn how you can support young people just like them right around Australia.
For now, we’re inviting you to join us for the launch event of this new campaign called `I Care. Do You?` 💛
Hear from our CEO, Board chairperson, and Young Carers. Watch the exclusive premiere of some of our campaign videos. Learn how you can help in a multitude of ways.
So, save the date! 🗓 Thursday 30 March from 8.30am-9.30am AEDT at CreativeCubes South Melbourne, or via livestream.
A HUGE shout out to our friends at @creativecubesco for their incredible support of this event.
RSVP by emailing emma@littledreamers.org.au or sending us a DM.
Anyone and everyone is welcome.
