Would you open your door to a child
in need?
Foster carers look after children when they are unable to
live with their own family. As a carer, you can make a huge
difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
Should you provide comfor t when
it ’s needed most?
Each night in Victoria there are nearly 9000 children who
cannot live safely with their parents. Children who have
experienced trauma and neglect and are not able to live with
their family need carers to provide a safe and nurturing home.
With your help they can heal and look forward to the future.
Could you provide a secure
temporary home?
No matter what your age, culture, marital status or sexual
orientation, Berry Street is looking for people just like you
who can care for a vulnerable child. If you are over 21 and can
offer a safe and nurturing home environment, we welcome
your application.
A little of your time can change
an entire life.
