Congratulations to NSW Minister The Hon. Natasha Maclaren-Jones MLC for this historic announcement of state care in NSW now through to 21 yrs! We presented the Minister with our The Home Stretch award to thank her on behalf of NSW young people in care. ACWA CCWT CREATE Foundation @NSWJustice


We started The Home Stretch 7yrs ago with Zeros from all States on care to 21. We changed the minds of all 8 of them, and now we are a country that supports all young people in care to 21yrs. Thank You to everyone who got behind our campaign! Enjoy this! youtu.be/hJMly6D9BCQ

“It’s an exciting moment to be able to look ahead and think about how much difference this simple reform will make to so many young lives in the years to come.” Paul McDonald The Home Stretch #charities #advocacy #collectiveLeadership #brighterfutures probonoaustralia.com.au/news/2022/11/n…

Great to do the keynote at the Peninsula Voice forum on Homelessness and Affordable Housing tonight. Great crowd in and great discussion. Mornington Peninsula @peninsulavoice1 Everybody's Home

Thanks so much to Deborah Knight and 2GB Sydney for recognising what a difference it makes for young people in foster care to get support through to the age of 21. The announcement by The Hon. Natasha Maclaren-Jones MLC on Sunday to extend care means the world to so many young people in NSW.

Finish off your weekend with my band My Flight playing The Retreat Hotel tonight. Summer funk’n groove goodness for your listening pleasure.



Now with all states extending care to 21yrs it’s time for the Feds to step up for this group too. The Home Stretch @AYAC_ Amanda Rishworth MP abc.net.au/news/2023-02-2… via ABC Australia
