Megan and Chris are two of our fantastic local foster carers.
Starting their foster care journey in their early 20`s, it has been a rewarding experience and they have no plans of stopping any time soon.

It is Foster Care Week! This annual event is all about celebrating the incredible carers in our community and raising awareness.
Foster Carers offer safe, nurturing, and loving environments for children who are unable to live with their biological parents. They develop meaningful relationships with foster children, providing both emotional and practical support to meet their needs.
Becoming a Foster Carer can be an enriching experience, allowing you to learn and grow together with the child in your care.
If you`re thinking about becoming a Foster Carer, the team at Cafs is ready to support you throughout the entire process.
Take the first step with Cafs, and start your fostering journey today.

It is Kinship Care Week, a week to acknowledge the role kinship carers play in raising many of Victoria’s children and to celebrate kinship carers in the community.
Cafs is incredibly lucky to have such a supportive network of kinship carers who support one another and play such a vital role in the lives of the children in their care.
Cafs Kinship Carer Groups are open to any Kinship Carers, not just those aligned with Cafs.
This gives carers an opportunity to meet and talk with other carers, sharing your experiences, challenges and building social connections, in a safe and supportive environment.
We run these support groups monthly, in Ballarat, Ararat, Daylesford and Bacchus Marsh.
The support groups are free to join. If you are interested in joining, please call Cafs on 1800 692 237 for more information on upcoming dates and locations.
