We know that a more supported, gradual transition from care can help young people to reach their full potential. In Victoria, too many young people transition from care without stable housing and are over-represented in the justice system. These young people, who are most in need of support and connection, experience significant rates of social isolation. We need to focus on better futures for these young people and change their trajectories in life.
All young people aged 15 years and nine months living in out-of-home care and subject to a family reunification order, a care by Secretary order, or a long-term care order are eligible for support and will be referred to Better Futures by their case managers.
