Foster Care Association of Victoria

The Foster Care Association of Victoria is the peak body for Victorian foster carers. Established in 1992, we are a not-for-profit organisation working towards better outcomes for foster carers and the children in their care.
Foster care is the backbone of the Victorian response to protective intervention for children and young people at risk. Foster carers are the volunteers providing a home, family life and care to children and young people who are unable to live with their birth family for a variety of reasons. All of these children have suffered traumatic events and the role of our foster carers is critical and complex. 
 
The Foster Care Association is here to provide information, support and advocacy directly to all Victorian foster families.
