COMMUNITY FORUM - PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE
Could you be a permanent care parent?
There are a number of children supported by the Department of Health & Human Services who require a family for life as they are unable to live with their birth families. We are seeking committed and motivated people who would be interested in learning more about providing a permanent family for a child.
Assistance payments are made to the Permanent Care family to assist with the day to day expenses of caring for a child/young person. Assistance payments are considered to be a reimbursement for expenses and not an earned income.
We are also keen to speak with families who are particularly interested in caring for children aged between 5 and 10 years.
Information sessions are being held on:
Tuesday 28th March 2017 at 6:00pm
Department of Health & Human Services
43-47 Rowan Street, Wangaratta
Thursday 30th March 2017 at 6:00pm
Department of Health & Human Services
163-167 Welsford Street, Shepparton
