Carers Australia has collated an extensive list of resource materials for use by people who are supporting, or want to support, young carers in secondary schools. This may include school administrators, teachers, counsellors, support workers, parents and guardians.These materials have been sourced nationally and internationally.

Young carers are children or young people up to 25 years of age, who help care in families where someone has an illness, a disability, a mental health issue or who has an alcohol or other drug problem.

Each of the resources outlined below contains a synopsis, as well as contact details of the resource providers.
