With children preparing to return to school, many families are thinking about fresh starts. Could this be your moment to step into fostering? Our lunchtime session will introduce you to everything you need to know about becoming a foster carer.

As the summer nears its close and the school term approaches, many families are settling into new routines – making it a great time to explore new opportunities. Our online lunchtime Introduction to Fostering info session is designed to help you understand how fostering can fit into your life this season.

Topics We’ll Cover

Learn about the different types of fostering – including respite, short-term, and long-term care – and discover how each one helps meet the needs of children in care. We’ll guide you through the application and assessment process and explain how Origins Foster Care supports you at every stage.

Support That Makes a Difference

Find out about the comprehensive supports we provide – from financial support to training, therapeutic input, and a dedicated link worker who walks the journey with you. You’ll also hear how we help match children with carers to ensure stability and success.

First-Hand Experiences

Hear directly from one of our experienced foster carers as they share their story – the challenges, the joys, and the incredible impact fostering has had on their family and the children in their care.

Take the First Step

This session is perfect if you’ve been thinking about fostering but don’t know where to start. You’ll leave feeling informed, supported, and inspired to take the next step towards becoming a foster carer with Origins Foster Care.

Join us and make this back-to-school season the beginning of something extraordinary.
