Every child deserves to feel safe, secure and loved.
However, there will be circumstances when children cannot live with their parents, either for a short or long-term basis. MacKillop works with these families to support their children to return home. During this time, children may need to be cared for by a MacKillop short-term foster carer.
There are times when children cannot safely return to the care of their parents. MacKillop’s long-term carers provide these children with the home and permanency they need. Some of these carers may later become the Guardians or Adopted parents of these children.
Some MacKillop carers are respite carers who specialise in supporting our short-term and long-term carers with breaks when they need them. Some of our carers specialise in specific ages or types of children that they care for.
Regardless of the type of care they provide, all MacKillop carers provide a vital and precious gift to our children.
MacKillop needs carers in:
- Western Sydney and the lower blue mountains
- Illawarra, Batemans Bay and South Coast
- Grafton and Northern NSW
If you live in these regions, could you consider joining us by inquiring today to become a MacKillop NSW Foster Carer?
