South Australia
Foster Care Information Webinar
Across South Australia, we urgently need people who are willing and able to offer long-term stable homes, short-term emergency care or weekend respite care for children who are unable to live safely with their families.
If you're interested in sharing your home, heart and time with a child or young person in need, please join our free information session to learn what's involved in becoming a foster carer and whether it's the right fit for you.
During the session, we will cover the different types of care, the application and assessment process, the roles and responsibilities of being a foster carer and the support you will receive from Life Without Barriers. Our experienced team and a local foster carer will talk you through the process and answer any questions you have - no matter how big or small!
Date: Tuesday, 11 February
Time: 7pm – 8pm
Location: Online.
