Transitioning from Care

Trigger warning: Please note that the following material may cover topics such as homelessness and childhood abuse. If you need support, please talk with someone, such as Lifeline (13 11 14) or Beyond Blue.

Welcome to episode two of ‘Voices in Action’, a podcast by the CREATE Foundation – the national consumer body for children and young people with a care experience. We are the voice - for children and young people in care across Australia. This podcast is designed to give young people a platform to discuss issues important to them. Make sure you subscribe for future episodes.

In this episode we hear directly from some of our awesome care-experienced Young Consultants about transitioning from care – what worked, what didn’t and what they wish had been done differently. This is an important issue within the care sector and is a discussion worth listening to in order to better understand some of the challenges faced by those transitioning from care.

Thanks to all our Young Consultants for sharing your insights and stories with us today – your openness and honestly continue to amaze all of us. If you are a carer or work in the sector, we encourage you to take a moment to reflect on how these insights can inform your practice.
