CREATE Foundation is Australia's peak body representing the voices of all children and young people in out of home care. CREATE Foundation Limited was founded in 1999. It was formerly known as the Australian Association of Young People in Care (AAYPC) which was started by Jan Owen in 1993.

From humble beginnings as a small volunteer-driven group CREATE Foundation has evolved to become a national organisation with offices in every state and territory in Australia.
