The Australian Association of Young People in Care was established in 1993 to ensure that children and young people in care are afforded the same life opportunities as all of Australia's children. The organisation focuses on empowering young people to advocate for themselves and each other within the care system. This is to ensure that their voices are heard by service providers and governments so that the latter may become more responsive to their needs.
