non-government foster care agencies

While Community Services has the largest number of foster carers, there are many non-government agencies providing foster care either as independent organisations or as part of larger, often church-based, organisations.

The care allowances paid by Community Services also apply to carers with non-government agencies.

For people interested in fostering through a non-government organisation, see the Fostering NSW website or contact one of the agencies below.
