Turning Point is committed to centring lived experience in every part of the event. We know that real, meaningful change begins by listening to and learning from those who have navigated these systems firsthand.
To support this, we’re offering scholarships to cover participation costs for individuals with lived or living experience of young parenthood or child protection. This helps ensure that financial barriers don’t prevent young parents from sharing their insights, shaping discussions, and influencing future policy and practice.
