GOM Central

Elm Place

2018

GOM Central is a resource for young South Australians who have been in what's called Out of Home care.

While there were already some services available - counselling, advocacy etc - through Relationships Austalia South Australia's Post Care Services, young people wanted something more, something that was "multimedia and online focussed."

At GOM Central there are podcasts and videos, budgeting tools and links to useful services.

The decision to call the site "GOM" (Guardian of the Minister) Central results from many of these young people having been called "GOM kids" in negative way. Therefore, for this project they're pushing back against stigma and negative stereotypes and embracing the name.
