Who can become a foster carer

When it comes to foster care, it is not a one size fits all approach, and we encourage people from different backgrounds, experiences and family types to consider becoming a foster carer.

For example, our foster carers are: 

• Single, married, de facto or same-sex relationship
• Renting or own their own home
• Working fulltime, part time or stay at home
• From a diverse range of cultures with a diverse range of life experience
• Dedicated to maintaining and supporting children’s connection with their Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander family, community and culture
• Committed to meeting the needs of the children and young people they care for
• Committed to attending ongoing therapeutic, cultural awareness and other training

To be a foster carer with VACCA, you must: 

• Be aged 21 years or over
• Have good physical and emotional health
