Foster and kinship carers are the heart of the out-of-home care system. They open their homes and their hearts to children who have experienced trauma, loss, and instability—often at a moment’s notice—offering the one thing every child needs most: safety.

But behind every brave “yes” a carer says, there’s a world of complexity: navigating bureaucracies, managing emotional and behavioural needs, juggling appointments and finances, and supporting their own families and wellbeing. At A Better Life For Foster Kids, we believe carers shouldn’t have to do it alone.
