For Care Leavers, By Care Leavers

Our story began in January 2022.

We were some care-experienced tertiary students, wondering why there was not more support for fellow care leavers to access the full span of educational opportunities.

Since then us in the Tertiary Education for Care Leavers (TE4CL) Initiative have worked tirelessly, not to reinvent the wheel, but to help steer us towards more equitable access across the three key levers we saw: tertiary institutions, government and support agencies.

Underlying all of these though is the broader community, as it is here where ultimately change is needed.

This website represents the kete of knowledge & experience we have developed to date to inform stakeholders.
