Carer Gateway - support students who provide care to a family member or friend
Young carers provide care and support for a loved one with disability, a medical condition, mental illness or someone who is frail due to age.
As a teacher, you can encourage your students who might be young carers to seek support. Carer Gateway is an Australian Government initiative, offering free support and services to help these young carers.
