Our Foster and Kinship Care services provide safe, nurturing homes for children who cannot live with their birth families. We focus on stability, connection, and healing by supporting both carers and children every step of the way.
We match children with carers who can offer warmth, stability, and understanding, always keeping the child’s wellbeing.
Our carers receive extensive training and are equipped to support diverse backgrounds.
We don’t just place children—we walk with them and their carers. With access to counselling, training, and 24/7 support.
At Little Lantern Group, we believe every child deserves a loving home, a sense of belonging, and the chance to thrive. Our Foster and Kinship Care program is designed to provide that foundation.
We carefully match children with foster or kinship carers who can meet their emotional, cultural, and developmental needs.
All carers receive initial and ongoing training, ensuring they feel confident and prepared. Topics include trauma-informed care.
Wherever possible, we place children with carers from their own communities, ensuring they maintain their identity.
Children and carers receive access to counselling, behavioural support, and specialist programs.
We work in partnership with carers, families, and service providers to develop personalised care plans.
We foster open, respectful relationships between children, carers, and families—supporting reunification.
Take the first step toward a brighter, safer, and more supportive future for your child. Join us today and become part of a community where every child is seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
We walk beside families, carers, and communities with respect and care — offering NDIS support, child and youth protection services, and healing pathways grounded in culture, dignity, and trust.
Little Lantern Group acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and honour their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community.
