Young Carer Bursary Program

Grant Description

The Young Carer Bursary Program provides financial support to young carers in greatest need so they can continue their education while managing caring responsibilities. In 2026, 1,600 bursaries of $4,000 each are available. The program benefits young people aged 12–25 who provide unpaid care to a family member or friend with disability, medical condition (including terminal or chronic illness), mental illness, alcohol or other drug issues, or who is frail and aged, with a focus on reducing financial pressure so study can be sustained alongside caring.
