Young Carer Bursary - 2025

ClosedGrant Closed: 7th of November 2025 - 11:59 pm Value: Up to $4,000 Run By: Young Carers Network Further Information: https://youngcarersnetwork.com.au/bursary/young-carer-bursary/

The Young Carer Bursary Program provides financial support to young carers in greatest need, making life a bit easier while they balance studying and caring for someone.

In 2026, 1,600 bursaries are available. Each one is worth $4,000.

All applications are carefully reviewed and bursaries awarded to the young carers who need them the most.

Why should I apply?

Being a young carer can be tough, especially when you’re trying to juggle your education and caring for someone you love. Balancing both can sometimes bring financial challenges, making things even harder. Bursary money is there to help you with your education and caring role.

You could use it for things like:

  • Buying a laptop for your schoolwork
  • Getting your school uniforms or books
  • Paying for transport to get to school or college
  • Taking a break from caring
  • Joining in with school activities that cost extra
  • Paying for some school fees
