Foster carers come from all different backgrounds and all types of families. Most importantly, our carers all share a strong commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children and young people in their care. Our carers are passionate about making a positive difference to children and they are compassionate and resilient.
Our carers are part of a care team approach that are jointly responsible for caring for children and young people.

At Kennerley our foster carers can:

• be single or have a partner
• be same sex couples
• have children of their own or not
• own or rent their home
• work, stay at home, study or be retired
• be from any culture or religion

There are several ways you can make an enquiry, you can call us on 6272 5900,  send an online enquiry either through our web site or facebook / or email to us and attend one of our regular information sessions. Our Foster carer Coordinators will provide you with all the information you require to make an informed decision about whether this opportunity of a lifetime is for you. Opening your heart and your home to children who need love and support requires a commitment and an understanding of children’s needs. Out training will provide all the knowledge and skills you require, and ongoing support when you need it.
