Events

At CREATE, we run all kinds of events across Australia just for young people in care.

From big celebrations to fun activities and workshops, everything we do is driven by what you want to get involved in. It’s a chance to meet other young people, have a great time, and be part of something that’s really yours - all for you and always free!

Annual Key Dates and Events

World Care Day (third Friday in Feb each year)

Each year, CREATE celebrates World Care Day – the world’s biggest celebration of children and young people with a care experience. It’s a day to raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and highlight the strengths and achievements of young people in care.

“We are just like you; except we just grew up differently.  Maybe we might feel more comfortable with what we went through, if people didn’t make judgments so quickly.” - Young Person
