Better Futures

What is Better Futures?

Better Futures is a new way of supporting care leavers, engaging with young people and their support networks, including case managers and care teams, early in their transition from care.

Working in collaboration with the Victorian Government funds MOIRA’s Your Journey team aims to engage earlier with care leavers, supporting them to have an active voice in their transition planning, and providing individualised supports.

You and your Better Futures worker can work together to decide what your goals are and how we can support you to achieve them.

How will MOIRA support me?

A Better Futures worker can support you to:

• Strengthen your independent living skills such as cooking and budgeting
• Explore and access education or employment opportunities
• Connect with different groups in your community
• Access funding to support your goals towards independence
• Better Futures workers can also meet with your care team, families/carers or school support group and work together to support you.
