4. CREATE Your Future Website | www.createyourfuture.org.auThe CREATE Your Future web-site, www.createyourfuture.org.au, is the only national portal foryoung people transitioning from care. The information contained on the site has been developedfrom extensive consultation with young people, carers, and NGO’s.Content is tailored to provide state-based and national information for young people. The site hasbeen developed in conjunction with the CREATE Your Future national training package (a holistic lifeskillsprogram and workshops).The site has followed the domains of the (LAC) framework recommended in the National Frameworkfor Protecting Australia’s Children. The domains include the following:• leaving care/transition/life skills• health• money/finance• education and training• employment• housing• transport• food and nutrition.CREATE Foundation is committed to ensuring that the site is updated and relevant to young people.However, has only received commonwealth (FAHSCIA) funding to review and update the site in 2009.Therefore, CREATE is in the unenviable position of continuously seeking corporate sponsorship tocover the cost of staff to update and monitor the site.BenefitsHaving one national website for transitioning from care will facilitate the following:• Resources can be targeted to one site instead of having multiple websites all with pieces ofinformation but none providing a holistic overview of transition services and information.• Reduction in duplication and fragmentation of information systems.• One national website can be monitored easily and the commonwealth (across government) andstates/territories can be consulted along with young people to determine the website’s relevanceand usefulness and one central point can update it regularly.• Offers a central point for referral for NGO’s and Centrelink, etc.• The site is updated and improved continuously ensuring you people’s views, experience andexpertise are used to keep the site fresh and up-to-date. However, no funding is received fromgovernment for CREATE to do this.64
