Emergency and Crisis Care

Foster carers urgently needed

The children below need somewhere to stay immediately.

This may be their first time in care or they may just need somewhere to stay while other suitable care is found. Whatever the reason, these children are in urgent need of emergency and crisis care, safety in what is a very stressful time in their lives.

Children seeking emergency and crisis care

Through no fault of their own, these children are urgently seeking a safe place to call home. Experience isn’t necessary, all these children need is a safe home and someone committed to providing the care and support every child deserves. A long-term solution would be ideal, but if you think you could help, even in the short term, please call our team today on 13 18 19 or contact us below.

Melanie*

She loves gymnastics, making up dances, and animals, and also enjoys taking time to relax with activities like colouring in and reading.

Melanie ideally needs a foster family based within the Macarthur region in South-West Sydney (Campbelltown, Camden or Wollondilly areas) to be close to support systems.
