PEAK BODIES’ RESOURCES
There are valuable resources available on these peak bodies’ websites which contain lots of useful information for home-based carers:
FOSTER CARE ASSOCATION OF VICTORIA

KINSHIP CARERS VICTORIA
Kinship Carers Victoria’s (KCV) aim is to have kinship carers in Victoria supported in their role according to their needs and the needs of the children they care for. Engage with their interactive guide for kinship carers below.
PERMANENT CARE & ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
At PCA Families, their purpose is to support permanent care, kinship care and adoptive families to help their children to thrive. They believe that well supported families lead to stronger children.
