This program supports Aboriginal young people aged 18-21 who have left care, and young people aged 15-18 years in care, to transition to supported independent living.
What we offer
Our leaving care program supports young people to:
- Develop a strong cultural identity
- Connect with family and community
- Develop independent living skills, including financial literacy
- Assist young people to meet their goals
- Organise safe, affordable long-term housing
- Actively participate in the community
Leaving care workers also provide cultural advice, consultation and support to other leaving care providers.
