Fostering Connections is a service available, free of charge, to all family and foster carers in Western Australia – you don’t need to be a Department of Communities carer to access the service.

The team is available to listen to concerns or answer questions that foster and family carers might have whether that be around payments, special needs loading, information on services and supports that are available or how to interpret policies and procedures. 

To speak with a Fostering Connections team member please call 1800 182 178 or email fosteringconnections@communities.wa.gov.au or use the online enquiry form on our Fostering Connections webpage.
