Foster Care

Foster care provides Young People with a safe, nurturing and stable home to live.

Uniting Country SA believes that all children should have the opportunity to be raised in a safe and loving home. When children are unable to stay with their birth families our foster carers step in to provide safety, stability and loving care.

UCSA’s foster care service operates in Clare, Kadina, Port Augusta, Port Pirie, and surrounding regions. If you are interested in learning more call us on (08) 8633 9023 or email us at [email protected]. Alternatively, why not click the button below to fill out the inquiry form and have us contact you.

About Foster Care

About Foster Care

Foster care is when a child who is unable to live with their birth family, lives with another family who is able to provide them with all the care and support they need by allowing them to live in a safe, secure and nurturing home. This care can range from an overnight stay, through to longer term. While it is preferable for children to return to their families, this is not always possible. So some children will need foster care until they turn 18 years old. Read more
