"Lived experience is vital in enabling us to design and deliver tailored, nuanced programs. We also recognise that the Young Carer space is constantly changing, so it is essential to centre the voices of current Young Carers by embedding their insights into all aspects of our work."

This week, we were thrilled to welcome the Minister for Carers and Volunteers, The Hon. @rosspencemp, to our Big Dreamers Alumni Camp!
The Minister joined one of our powerful workshops exploring the impact of being a Young Carer, diving deep into topics like building healthy relationships, creating a support plan, and crafting meaningful, caring stories β not just the what but the why behind sharing them.
Our Young Carers felt truly seen and heard. They shared openly, connected deeply, and walked away feeling validated and empowered, knowing their voices are helping to shape change.
A heartfelt thank you to Minister Spence for her time, genuine engagement, and supporting this camp through Victorian Government funded programs, including Support for Carers and Additional Carer Respite. It means the world to our Young Carers. β¨
