If you can provide a safe, nurturing and stable home for a child in need, then foster caring may be for you. Our foster care service connects vulnerable children and young people with weekend respite, short-term and long-term care, as well as training and supporting suitable foster carers.
Sometimes, a child or young person is unable to live with their family, but would like to remain with some familiar to them. Our kinship care program helps support relatives and members of a child or young person’s social network who are providing care for a vulnerable child or young person. You can access financial, legal and community support through our programs.
