A community for foster and kindship carers

Fantastic article by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on our Life Without Barriers Mockingbird Program.

Mockingbird is one of the most powerful, effective and practical ways we ensure foster carers are able to continue their vital support for children and young people in out-of-home care. Wrap around, community support is essential for carers to ensure they have the local engagement, support and encouragement from within their own community. I know how passionate our team are about this program and we will continue to grow the program nationally to support more carers.

Huge thanks to the ABC for their support in sharing this great news story - it is important we continue to elevate the brilliant work of the not-for profit organisations and carers who continue to deliver invaluable and specialist support for kids in out-of- home care.
