Better Futures helps young people in Victoria, aged 16 - 21, as they transition from care. It gives you a real say in your future and the support to reach your goals - whether that’s housing, study, work, your wellbeing, or staying connected to your community and culture. Through Better Futures, you can also access Home Stretch - an accommodation allowance to help you stay with your carer if that works best, or support you to live independently.
CREATE worked with the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing to make these Better Futures and Home Stretch resources. Thanks to all the young people who helped!
Learn more about Better Futures and Home Stretch program and the support available through these fact sheets designed by young people for young people.
These resources were informed by The Youth Expert Advisory Group (YEAG). This group of lived-experience young consultants was Established in 2019 to ensure the voice and expertise of young people with lived experience provide advice, feedback, and recommendations to government to inform policy and program development.
The YEAG is funded by Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, facilitated by CREATE Foundation in partnership with the Brotherhood of St Laurence.
