Are you are a young person (12-25 years) caring for a parent or familiy member with a disability or long-term illness? OR
Do you currently receive care from a young family member?
The Social Policy Research Centre at the University of New South Wales is looking for people who are interested in talking about their caring experiences to participate in a study.
The first aim of the study is to hear from young people who provide care and from people who receive care about their circumstances, experiences and support service needs. The second aim is to assist governments and community organisations to develop policies and services to support young carers and their families.
The study will involve an individual interview of about one hour’s duration either face-to-face or by phone and completion of a short questionnaire of about 15-20 minutes. Inteviews are expected to take place in July 2009 in South Australia and October 2009 in NSW.
