Fostering Connections is a centralised service provided by the Department of Communities for all foster and family carers who are looking for information and advice about the services and supports available, and to provide feedback and suggestions for future improvement to carers supports.
The service is 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 get in touch. We welcome enquiries from carers registered with Out of Home Care providers including Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO’s).
The dedicated team is ready to answer any questions you may have.
For example, we can provide support with queries involving payments, special needs loading or further information on the services available to carers.
The Fostering Connections team are also on-hand to support staff who may be seeking guidance on fostering practice and process or interpreting policies and procedures.
