Home Stretch

AbSec joins more than 100 organisations across Australia through The Home Stretch campaign, which calls for out-of-home care supports to be extended to young people up to the age of 21.

Currently, young people removed from their families are required to leave the care system when they turn 18. Many become homeless, involved with the criminal justice system, unemployed or starting their own family within the first 12 months of leaving care.

We believe every child deserves to be supported into adulthood and given the best chance at life. Join the call for 21,000 Australians to support the Home Stretch #makeit21
