Fostering Connections is a new information service provided by the Department of Communities to ensure foster and family carers can access the right support when it’s needed, and to provide feedback and suggestions for future improvement to carers supports.
The service is available, free of charge, to all family, foster carers in Western Australia – you don’t need to be a Department of Communities carer to make contact with the service.
The dedicated team is ready to answer any questions and queries that foster and family carers may have.
For example issues with payments, special needs loading, further information on services and supports available or how to interpret policies and procedures.
To speak with a Fostering Connections team member please call 1800 182 178 or email us at fosteringconnections@communities.wa.gov.au or use the online enquiry form below.
