We have a range of video resources, including webinars, animations, and short films to help navigate your journey through the care system.
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!
When NSW young people with a care experience turn 18, they have no option to remain in their care placement and often become homeless in the first year of transitioning from care. Leaving home shouldn’t be a one-way exit door and the community is now calling for a response from the NSW Government to the question, “Why not make it 21 in NSW?”
The 2022 South Australian Child Protection Week Award category “Voice of young people” was recently awarded to Fabian McPhee, CREATE SA Community Facilitator.
Since 2015, Fabian has been dedicated to support amplifying the voices of South Australia’s children and young people with a care experience, within the child protection sector.
Each year National Child Protection Week aims to engage, educate and empower Australians to understand the complexity of child abuse and neglect and work together
Every 18-year-old with a care experience deserves the option to access support and housing to 21. New South Wales remains the only state or territory which has not increased the leaving care to 21, leaving vulnerable young people at risk.
Tonight, CREATE Foundation, the peak consumer body representing the voices of children and young people with a care experience is hosting a very special dinner event in Cairns.
This year is the first time CREATE has hosted a dinner in Cairns celebrating National Child Protection Week and the 2022 theme is “Every child, in every community, needs a fair go”.
This website was built in consultation with children and young people with a care experience. Thank you to all the young people involved in providing feedback and sharing your insights throughout this process.
CREATE acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which we all live and work. We pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging.
