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

Our Moving On program takes referrals from Child Safety Services for young people over 15 years old.
