Become a Foster CARER When children can’t live safely at home or with relatives, foster care is usually the preferred option. There is a nationwide shortage of foster carers. Foster carers can be single, married and any age. We would welcome your enquiry on 1800 U FOSTER (1800 836 7837) to find out how you can be involved in this rewarding and worthwhile role. Each child who enters foster care is different and unique. For this reason, we are constantly seeking foster carers who come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and a range of different experiences.
