More Than Our Childhoods: A survivor-led participatory approach to out-of-home care life story research (2025) by Amy Gill & Dee Michell has now been published.


In this article, the authors present findings from an Australian research project, More Than Our Childhoods.

Part of the project was to develop a develop a database to highlight the personal, political, & cultural achievements of Care Experienced People (CEP) to Australia.


The authors conclude that “CEP in Australia have helped shape public policy and advance social progress. These contributions have been achieved through professional roles in frontline service delivery, research, and policy reform; grassroots activism and community engagement; and the influence of prominent figures in Australian popular culture who have helped shape public opinion.”
