We Care. Do You?
🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🖤 💛 ❤️

Caring for a loved one is one of the most selfless Caring for a loved one is one of the most selfless things a person can do - and for Young Carers, it's simply part of everyday life. 💜

From tutoring and mentoring to peer support and leadership opportunities, we're dedicated to helping Young Carers aged 4 to 25 across Australia reach their full potential.

Every Young Carer deserves to feel valued, supported, and empowered to chase their dreams.

What does it mean to start caring when you’re just What does it mean to start caring when you’re just five years old? 💙

For John Attard, caring began at an age when most children are just starting to read.

From supporting his mum through her mental health challenges and taking on household responsibilities, to attending medical appointments and advocating for her, John grew up learning how to care for someone he loved.

Today, John also cares for his Nonna, who lives with dementia and Parkinson’s disease.

His story is a beautiful reminder of the love, compassion and resilience that can come with being a Young Carer - but also of the challenges that can often go unseen.

As John shares, "It doesn’t define you - you can still do things. I’ve been able to go away with friends and study - there’s many things [I still do as a Young Carer]." Caring may be an important part of a Young Carer’s life, but it doesn’t have to define them. Young Carers deserve the chance to learn, connect, have fun and build a future of their own. 💙

Thank you to John for sharing his story and helping shine a light on the experiences of Young Carers.

💛 Young Carer voices in the room. Earlier this mo 💛 Young Carer voices in the room.

Earlier this month, our Young Carer Voice Lead Jacqueline joined the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) Young People Networking Event, connecting with other young people and advocates working to create positive change across Victoria.

The event was filled with inspiring conversations about education, finding your passion, cultural inclusion and creating safer, more inclusive spaces for young people.

And we were especially excited to hear Little Dreamers receive a shout-out from Victorian Minister for Youth, @lubagrigorovitchmp, during her speech! 🥳

We’re proud to see our Young Carer Voice Lead out in the community, building connections and making sure Young Carers are represented in conversations that affect them. ✨
