Stepping up for children
No matter how much time you have to give - from one weekend a month to a year or a whole childhood - you can change a child’s life.
ACT Together is seeking different types of foster carers in the Canberra region to provide safe and stable homes for children and young people who cannot live with their families.
Foster carers are especially needed for children living with a disability, groups of two or more siblings and young people aged 11-15 years.
ACT Together is committed to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children remain connected to culture.
