For this reference, the Commission considered it important to consult with young people, foster carers and parents who have contact with the Children’s Court. In seeking their views, the Commission contacted CREATE, Foster Care Association Victoria and MyriaD Consultants to facilitate these consultations.
CREATE is a peak body representing the voices of children and young people in out of home care.
Foster Care Association Victoria is a peak body for all foster parents and their local groups/associations.
MyriaD Consultants is a consulting and training company that facilitated sessions for us with parents from new and emerging communities.
The reports below provide detailed themes that emerged from the consultations.
