About the QLD CREATE Team:

Lucas Moore
Position: State Coordinator

About Lucas:

I think CREATE is an amazing organisation as it is driven by the voices of young people and it is one of only a few organisations that give young people’s views top priority.

“Go for it, just go for it – take as many opportunities as you can and get a taste of everything”.

Go Your Own Way Transition from Care (TFC) Kits

Transitioning from care to adulthood should be a positive and empowering experience. To begin your journey to independence, it helps to know where you can find useful information and support. The Go Your Own Way Kit includes a folder and other stuff that is packed with information about support services and general knowledge that you will need to know when you leave care. You can access a copy of the folder (however it won’t have all the application forms that the kit has) in the above link. In QLD every young person in statutory care turning 17 is entitled to receive a kit and your CSO should arrange a kit for you. If for some reason you miss out on a kit or you have questions about transitioning from care,  call your local Child Safety Service Centre, or call CREATE on 1800 655 105.
