Children and young people across Australia who cannot live with their families urgently need foster carers. If you think you could give a child or young person a safe, nurturing place in your home, temporarily or permanently, read on.
What is foster care? Foster care provides a stable, caring environment for children and young people when they cannot live with their own families. This may be due to abuse or neglect, or a family crisis such as illness or homelessness.
Foster care is not necessarily permanent and long-term. We need a range of carers to provide interim or restoration care, emergency or short-term care and respite care.
Each child has a dedicated Case Manager and, often, a clinician. These people support the child’s placement and longterm goals, and support you regarding the child’s individual needs.
Make a lifelong difference in the life of a child or young person. Lifestyle Solutions urgently needs all types of foster carers across Australia.
If you think you could become a foster carer, please get in touch for a confidential discussion and more information. Call on 1800 634 748 or visit www.lifestylesolutions.org.au
