The Young Carer Bursary Program supports young carers aged 12-25 to continue with their education while caring for a loved one.
The program now offers around 1,600 bursaries of $3,768 each year to help with education needs and resources.
Young carers can apply for next year’s Young Carer Bursary Program from 18 July 2023.
