What is Foster Care?

We believe that every child has the right to feel safe, accepted and valued and every foster carer given all the support and flexibility they need to make this a reality.

There is an increasing number of children and young people in local communities across Queensland, NSW and WA that can no longer stay at home because their families are unable to look after them or they may be at risk of harm. Foster care is about providing a safe and supportive home for these children.

The aim of foster care, in the majority of cases, is to reunite the children with their own families, although sometimes this is not a possibility. When this is the case, alternate options for permanent placement are explored.

You can be a foster carer for just a few nights, weeks, or for many years and as a foster carer you able to choose the length of care you are willing to provide.
Regardless of what you choose to do, Foundations Care will support you every step of the way. We  believe that every child has the right to feel safe, accepted and valued and every foster carer given all the support and flexibility they need to  make this a reality.

We currently need foster carers in Perth, Northern NSW, Central Queensland, South East Queensland and South West Queensland

Your commitment will be making all the difference in their world.
