Foster Carers needed
CAFS is currently holding information sessions for people interested in becoming foster carers. There are around 1,600 children and young people in foster care placements in Victoria, with about 470 children in residential care. The demand for foster care is growing, while the number of available carers is on the decline (AIHW, 2023). We are urgently seeking individuals who are ready to provide a loving, safe home for children in need. Click on the QR code for further information or to register your interest.
