Resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children and Young People
At CREATE, we believe in the importance and power of the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people with a care experience, their families and their communities. Through our programs like Speak UP, CREATE Your Future and Youth Advisory Groups, we give Indigenous young people a chance to have a voice within the care system and child protection systems across Australia.

LGBTQI+ Resources​
CREATE has been working for many years with young people in the care system who identify as LGBTQI+. We have identified that carers and workers do not always have the knowledge or skills to properly support LGBTQI+ young people in the care.

We have a range of video resources, including webinars, animations, and short films to help navigate your journey through the care system.

You, children and young people with a lived experience of the care system, are the centre of the work we do at CREATE. Connect, empower, change is more than just a motto to us, it’s a pathway for how you can participate with CREATE; connecting with us at our events, being empowered through our programs, and getting the platform to create change in the care system.

How CREATE creates change

CREATE does a lot of things – which can make it a little confusing to figure out HOW we actually make change. So we put together a little chart to talk through all the ways we can change the care system – and showing why we need your help! Your voices are the key to how we create change, from beginning to end!
