Four Young Carers stand together as part of a circle. One holds a blue soccer ball to her chest and she is laughing and looking off towards the right. The others stand, hands by their side or crossed together, looking off in the same direction and smiling. They are in a room with windows looking out to lots of trees and a campsite.

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, and 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.

Two Young Carers sit on a grey couch with a multicoloured geometric patterned cushion in between them. Taylar sits on the right, her face resting on one hand, wearing a black t-shirt. Danny is sitting on the left and is talking, using his hands to describe what he is saying, a notebook resting on his lap. Both Young Carers are smiling.

The Details

Our Peer Support program is currently run for Young Carers aged 7 to 25 years old and is divided into relevant age groups.

This program is currently delivered online and face-to-face in some locations.

As Year 12 results start rolling out today, we want to take a moment to celebrate our incredible Young Carers, not just for their grades but for the resilience, strength, and determination you’ve shown throughout your schooling.

We know juggling the responsibilities of being a Young Carer with study is no small feat, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved. 💟

Remember: Your ATAR does not define you. Your worth is not measured by a number but by the amazing person you are, the lives you’ve touched, and the bright future ahead.

Whatever the next steps may look like for you – we’re cheering you on every step of the way.

If you’re feeling uncertain about your results or what comes next, know you’re not alone. Reach out to us or someone you trust – we’re here to support you.

Here’s to taking a few moments today to celebrate all your hard work and the exciting opportunities that await! 🎉

You can help create a wellbeing space for Young Carers! As we work towards launching our Young Carer Wellbeing Hub (the Hub) in 2025, we`re looking for donations to help us create a space for these young people to access therapy and support.

If you are able to cover the cost of an item on our Holiday Wish List, you’ll allow us to focus on what matters most - providing much-needed therapeutic services to the Young Carers who will benefit from the Hub’s support. From couches to therapy tools, you’ll help make this space feel comfortable and welcoming.

Together, we can create an environment where Young Carers can feel supported on their wellbeing journey. 🛋️💚 Check out our Holiday Wish List and donate today via the link in our bio.
