CREATE Foundation, formerly known as the Australian Association of Young People in Care (AYPIC) was founded in 1993 by
Jan Owen.
Since then it has evolved from a small volunteer driven organisation to a national organisation with an office in each State and Territory of Australia.
CREATE Foundation is the peak body representing the voices of all children and young people in out-of-home care.
As a national organisation CREATE is better able to increase its reach to children and young people in care through its programs and events. As an advocate for children and young people in care CREATE ensures that their voices are heard by key decision makers in government and out-of-home care sector stakeholders.
CREATE Foundation is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors comprising representatives from some of Australia’s largest corporations.
