Kennerley has been caring for children in Tasmania continuously since 1869.

Our wonderful carers have provided a safe, nurturing environment (along with oodles of love and kindness) for hundreds of children and young people over time, which has laid the platform for so many to go on and reach their full potential. Sadly, the need for foster carers in Tasmania today is greater than ever.
