Young Carers, Hannah and Eve, sit cross legged on the floor. Eve is on the right, and gestures with her hands as she speaks. Hannah uses one hand to point at Eve, and is laughing as she looks towards Eve. They are sitting in a circle with other Young Carers out of the frame.

The Young Carer Project

We’re delivering this exciting program to schools across Brisbane, Bundaberg and Townsville.

What is The Young Carer Project?

The Young Carer Project believes in a school community where Young Carers have equal access to educational opportunities as their peers. To do this, we’re educating teachers and students in schools across Queensland, helping them to better identify and support Young Carers in their classrooms.

When you become part of The Young Carer Project, you’ll nominate your key teachers and wellbeing staff (Teacher Champions) and students with caring roles (Young Carer Ambassadors), who will then participate in training, workshops and online modules.
