VACSWIM is offering free water safety and survival programs to primary school aged children in care during December 2020 and January 2021.

While the impacts of the coronavirus meant we weren’t able to celebrate carers as we usually do during Foster and Kinship Carer Week (13 to 17 September 2020), we still pulled together a range of activities and media opportunities to our amazing carers throughout the week.

Cyber security and the responsible use of technology is an important issue for all children and young people. We have put together some tips and resources to help guide conversations about keeping kids safe online.

More than 100 new family-based carers have put up their hands to provide safe and loving homes for the state’s most vulnerable children and young people over the past 12 months.
