Fostering Connections is the state-wide foster care recruitment service. We work to raise awareness about the role of foster carers in our community and how people in Victoria can become foster carers.
Awareness Raising Resources
We encourage Victorians to raise awareness about the role of foster carers in our community. Below are a range of resources you can download and use at home, in your workplace or in your community to spread the word.
Public Information Sessions
Fostering Connections regularly holds online or in-person information sessions. These sessions are a great opportunity for the public to learn more about the process of becoming a foster carer and how to connect with a local foster care agency.
Watch to our online webinars here.
Request a session
We can offer these sessions free to any community groups, workplaces or organisations online in Victoria or in person in metro Melbourne. These sessions are facilitated by our Foster Care Connection Specialist and can include foster care agency staff or foster carers if requested.
These sessions can cover:

- The day-to-day of being a foster carer
