Foster Carer
Anglicare Victoria is looking for people who have a place in their heart for a child in need of a safe home. Foster care is a way of offering children a safe, secure and nurturing place to stay while their family is unable to care for them.
Foster carers are volunteers who welcome children into their own homes, and provide them with support, safety, care and attention while the child is unable to live with their family. Our foster care program supports children aged 0-18 years who have been affected by neglect, trauma, abuse, family illness or crisis, and may be in care for as little as one night to as long as a few years.
