Whether you can spare a weekend, a week in the school holidays, a fortnight, a month or even a year. Any amount of time you are willing to give can make a world of difference.
South Australia needs all kinds of foster carers for children and young people requiring safe and nurturing care.
We are always keen to hear from people willing to open their hearts and homes that provides children and young people the opportunity to feel supported and to thrive. The experience can be life-changing for both the young person and the carer.
There are many options available to suit different circumstances and lifestyles – these can range from emergency carers who can take children at short notice, to people able to provide a home for children until adulthood.
Foster carers are generally aged between 25 and 70 and can be:
- Individuals (male or female)
- Couples (including same sex couples)
- People with their own children
- People who do not have children.
