Foundations Care is a not-for-profit organisation committed to improving the lives of children, young people and families through protection, connection, support and advocacy. With a strong focus on the wellbeing of children and young people, Foundations Care works to create safe, supportive and nurturing environments where children can feel secure, accepted and valued.
Foster care is an important part of the work carried out by Foundations Care. When children or young people are unable to safely remain living with their birth families because of circumstances such as abuse or neglect, they may be placed with trained and approved foster carers. Foundations Care supports people who are willing to open their homes and hearts to provide children with stability, care and encouragement during challenging periods of their lives.
The organisation provides a range of foster care options to suit different circumstances and the individual needs of children. These include emergency foster care for situations requiring short-notice support, respite or short-break care, short-term foster care and long-term care. This flexible approach allows prospective carers to explore the type of fostering that best suits their household, lifestyle and ability to provide care.
