Helping Hand For Young Carers
Source: Tasmania. Minister for Human Services. Media Release
"Young people in southern Tasmania who care for a family member now have a new place to get support and help them complete their education while in their caring role. The Minister for Human Services, Lin Thorp, launched Community Based Support South’s new website for young carers at a function in a Year 5/6 classroom at Huonville Primary School. She said the initiative aimed to support students while at school to minimise the risk of absenteeism due to their caring role."
