Foster & Kinship Care Support
When children cannot remain with their parents, being cared for by relatives or foster carers can keep them close to family and community. We support the carers who make that possible.
Purpose
To strengthen and support relatives and foster carers so that children in their care are safe, settled and well looked after.
Who this program is for
- Relatives caring for a child who cannot live with their parents
- Foster carers welcoming a child into their home
- Families considering offering kinship or foster care
How it works
- We provide guidance and encouragement to carers.
- We offer counselling and practical support for the household.
- We help carers access the right services for the child.
- We keep in touch to make sure the child continues to thrive.
What to know
- Kinship and foster care keep children connected to family wherever possible.
- Carers are never left to cope alone.
- Support is centred on the child’s safety and best interest.
