AUSTRALIAN FOSTER CARE ASSOCIATION (AFCA)
AFCA
is a membership based voluntary organisation supporting and
representing the voices of foster carers, their families and
the children they care for throughout Australia. AFCA works
in partnership with other community organisations in the child
and family welfare sector to provide the support necessary
for children and young people unable to live at home to achieve
better outcomes.
Foster carers are people who voluntarily care for children
and young people in our community who are unable to live in
their own home, irrespective of whether that may be for a
few days or until a child becomes an adult. They stretch their
family circle to give children and young people the necessary
care, safety and support that they require during a very difficult
time in their lives. If you would like to find out more about
foster care in your own State or Territory, or to become a
foster carer, please click here and
we will help you connect with them.
