Foster Care is a rewarding experience and foster carers play a vital role in their community. Don't just take it from us, hear the stories of four different foster carers on their experiences, motivations and why you should considering becoming a foster carer. These foster carers come from across Australia. They represent the different walks of life that foster carers represent.
Foster carers can be from all cultures, single or married, in same sex relationships, working or retired. We hope you enjoy their stories.
Meet Renee, Mike and Sas
Carers Renee and Mike have spent most of their adult lives working with children and young people as well as raising four boys of their own. Sas, who they cared for, shares her experience growing up in their home.
Meet Dave
Dave always knew that he wanted a family and he knew he wanted to include those that needed it the most. Becoming a foster carer has been so rewarding for him, and the children in his care.
This foster care week, we recognise and celebrate our foster carers.
We’re grateful for our team of dedicated foster carers and their invaluable contribution to the lives of vulnerable children and young people. Below, you can hear more stories from our foster carers and their experiences.
