Tamworth Foster Care Information sessions
Across New South Wales, 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.
We welcome carers of any gender, sexuality and culture. You can be single or partnered, working or retired, with or without children of your own. To become a foster carer, your ability to care for and nurture a child is what really matters.
Life Without Barriers will be there to support you every step of the way, providing full training, 24/7 support and financial assistance to help cover the cost of providing care.
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.
