CALLING ALL YOUNG CARERS AGES 12-25!

Young Carers Network Bursary Program 2026

Applications are now open for young carers from ages 12-25 to apply for a $4000 Bursary to support their education goals as well as provide a break from their caring role. There are many fabulous and caring JSA siblings who deserve the recognition and would benefit from a bursary to support their education!

What makes a young carer? Do they help with chores around the house like cleaning and cooking? Do they provide advocacy or emotional support to their sibling? Do they help with medication or personal care? If yes, they will likely be eligible!
