MacKillop Family Services

Supports foster carers to provide care for children and young people

MacKillop Family Services supports foster carers to provide care for children and young people temporarily unable to live with their families for safety reasons.

Many teachers and other school sector professionals understand the trauma that these children have experienced, and have the skills needed to provide a safe, stable and nurturing home life. The support we offer allows our foster carers to manage their busy professional and personal lifestyles while helping vulnerable children and enriching their own lives.
