YOUNG CARER BURSARY
Carers Australia supports carers of all ages, making sure they have the tools and help they need to manage their caring roles. One way they help young carers is through the Young Carer Bursary.
This Program bursary presents a wonderful opportunity to make a real impact on the lives of young carers who are currently juggling their education with the responsibilities of caregiving.
Through financial support, the bursary empowers these extraordinary individuals to dedicate more time and energy towards their studies while navigating the challenges of being a caregiver.
Applications for the 2025 Young Carer Bursary are open until 22nd November.
