Foster Care Week.

“Foster Care Week runs from 12th – 18th September. Foster Care week aims to raise awareness about Foster Care in the wider community.” We hear more from the Wathaurong Community.

“We’ll be sharing some ‘Myth Busters’ on our page throughout the week, so check out our socials for your daily dose of Foster Care info this week!

“We need carers from all backgrounds who can create a safe environment for children to thrive.

“While it is best for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to be cared for within community, sometimes this is not possible. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been a parent. As a foster carer, you will be supported in ensuring that children are able to connect to and celebrate their cultural values, beliefs, traditions and identity.

“Kids in Geelong need a safe and supportive home to thrive. It takes a village to raise a child. Make a difference in our community and become a foster carer.
