CYCLOPS (Connecting Young Carers to Life Opportunities and Personalised Supports)

Programs and services for young carers (respite, counselling and support for young carers)

The CYCLOPS (Connecting Young Carers to Life Opportunities and Personalised Supports) program supports young carers aged 10-18 caring for a family member affected by mental illness, chronic illness, disability and/or alcohol and substance misuse.

The services provided include one-on-one support, intensive case management, information, advocacy, referral, support groups, social and recreational activities and community education and development.

The CYCLOPS program offers young carers opportunities to meet up with other young people who are also caring, to talk about issues, share stories and have fun.
