Welcome aboard!

We’re thrilled to have you join our team of incredibly passionate people; staff, foster and kinship carers, and health specialists who, like you, are motivated by a desire to make a real and lasting positive difference in a child’s life.

The ability to care for a child is a gift. On behalf of the thousands of children in Australia who are unable to live safely with their family at this time, we thank you.

This library has been created to give you quick and easy access to all the documentation you need for your carer journey. You can also access the Carer guide for more general information and support.
