Bendigo Health Carer Support Services provide short-term support to young carers in our region. A young carer is anyone under 25 who supports a friend or family member with disability, mental illness, age-related condition, or other health issue. This support may include attending appointments, interpreting, helping with household tasks, providing emotional support, or caring for younger siblings. Young Carers and their families can access support by calling 1800 422 737 or visiting www.carergateway.gov.au
