You can apply for money

Transition to Independent Living Allowance (TILA) is a one-off payment of up to $1,500 per person. In order to access TILA you need to have this in your leaving care (my future) plan and be aged between 15-25yrs of age. This money can be used to buy items such as a fridge or couch, pay for counselling, education and training courses, medical expenses, a drivers licence or any other items or services agreed between the young person and their caseworker. Your caseworker can help you apply for this.

Caseworkers must apply on your behalf using the NSW TILA application form and sending it to SYFS via tilansw@syfs.org.au or fax 4240 4891.

It's good to get TILA - put in your plan"
