Foundations Care is a leading Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving the lives of children, young people, and families through compassionate foster care and comprehensive support services. With more than two decades of experience, the organisation works to ensure every child feels safe, accepted, valued, and connected within a caring environment. Its mission is to provide responsive and flexible support services, advocacy, and evidence-based care that create positive, lasting outcomes for children and communities.
At the heart of Foundations Care is a commitment to finding the right home for every child. The organisation carefully matches children and young people with foster carers who can best meet their individual needs, helping create stable and nurturing placements where children can heal, develop confidence, and build brighter futures. Whether providing emergency, short-term, long-term, respite, or kinship care, Foundations Care ensures that every placement prioritises the child’s wellbeing, emotional development, and long-term success.
Foundations Care provides extensive support to individuals and families interested in becoming foster carers. From the initial enquiry and assessment process to mandatory training and ongoing professional development, carers receive guidance every step of the way. Approved carers benefit from dedicated caseworker assistance, 24/7 support, regular home visits, specialist behavioural advice, networking opportunities with other carers, and financial assistance to help meet the day-to-day needs of children in their care. This comprehensive support enables carers to provide safe, loving, and stable homes where children can thrive.
