What if I have received a CREATE Your Future Grant before in previous years?
You are able to apply again.

How do I complete a CREATE Your Future Grant Application?
By completing this application.

What if I want a different laptop and not the preselected one?
The laptops have been pre-selected and CREATE is unable to approve any requests for alternative laptops/ devices.

Can I apply if I don’t yet have my learners permit?
Unfortunately no. You must hold a valid learners permit to apply for the driving lessons.

What makes a CREATE Your Future Grant Scheme Application great?
The best applications we receive are the ones that are completed in full. If an application is lodged that does not have all the information we need, it will be deemed ineligible (which means that we can’t assess your application).

Can someone help me complete my Application?
We encourage all young people to complete the CREATE Your Future Application Form on their own however, you can receive assistance to do so.

What if I am not successful?
You will be sent a letter or email advising you if your application has been successful or not. CREATE receives heaps of applications and unfortunately we do not have the funds to support every application that we receive so not all will be approved.

We do realise that it is disappointing for young people if you miss out and we appreciate your understanding if you are not successful.
