Creating brighter futures for children and young people in out-of-home care
Our Team
Established in 2001, Families Australia provides policy advice to the Federal Government and Parliament on ways to increase the wellbeing of families, especially those experiencing the greatest vulnerability and marginalisation. It does so on behalf of around 800 member organisations around Australia, all of whom work to advance family wellbeing and participation.
Led by Families Australia, the National Foster Care Sustainability Group has been established to drive national-level change by collaborating openly, sharing resources and reports, exchanging expertise, and collectively advocating for strategic federal actions.
This project is being delivered in partnership with The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, PeakCare and OzChild. It is a strategic priority for child and family peak bodies and sector partners, to strengthen the coordinated efforts in working collaboratively with the Australian Government and key stakeholders to sustain and enhance the foster care system.
