The article highlights the significant challenges faced by approximately 40,000 young carers in Western Australia who provide unpaid care for family members with disabilities or health conditions. Sara Qalandari, a 25-year-old carer who began caring for her family at age 10 after migrating as refugees, shares her experience of juggling academic pursuits with caregiving duties. Despite completing a biomedical sciences degree and currently studying psychology, she struggles to compete with peers due to her responsibilities. Qalandari advocates for dedicated pathways for young carers in higher education to ensure equal opportunities. The Carers Australia Wellbeing Survey reveals that 65% of young carers aged 12-25 feel they've lost their childhood, up from 54% the previous year. Fewer young carers feel included in care planning decisions, and less than half report being treated with respect or having their concerns acknowledged. Over 50% find navigating government systems challenging, and only 17.9% can connect with other young carers. Carers Australia CEO Joanna Cave emphasizes that young carers often make 'constrained choices' to provide care without proper support, missing out on social activities and educational opportunities. While some support exists through initiatives like the Young Carer Bursary and Carer Gateway, carers call for greater recognition, formalized support systems, and more flexible respite services. Cave notes that the absence of respite care significantly impacts carers' wellbeing, with many desperate for short breaks that are not readily available. The article underscores the urgent need for systemic changes to support young carers in balancing their care responsibilities with personal development and education.
