31.4 per cent of carers in Australia are reporting high mental distress, compared with 28.2 per cent last year.
Many carers are unpaid as they help loved ones with disability or illness.
Carers Australia CEO, Annabel Reid, says it is important to help young carers.
"So young carers are often unrecognised and unsupported. The survey results show that only half of young carers let their educational institution know that they are a young carer. And of those, 41 per cent felt their school or their teacher didn't understand their caring situation - and challenges that they're experiencing. But it also mean heightened absenteeism at school, dropping out of school and not getting access to that tertiary education."

"Most of these young girls, they enjoy playing soccer. Just to get away from everything else around them and they can come and play soccer where they can have a yarn with each other - and play sport and be happy with one another. Yeah, and get along."
