I'm interested in School Holiday Programs in:
Please note that some of our Victorian programs are funded by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH). Under this funding, each Young Carer is eligible for up to 20 hours of DFFH-funded respite support with Little Dreamers per calendar year. Enrolment into these programs depends on the Young Carer’s remaining funding balance, which will be confirmed by our team when we receive an application. If your Young Carer is nearing their annual limit, we will contact you to discuss options and next steps.

Other programs are supported by local government or community grants. For these programs, eligibility is based on the Young Carer’s residential location.
