Fostering NSW

One third of children in care are Aboriginal, but there are not enough Aboriginal carers to support them. AbSec is committed to ensuring these children remain connected to community and culture to keep their identity strong and alive.

We need your support! If you are interested in becoming a carer, please contact AbSec or an Aboriginal foster care agency listed below. Our website also contains a range of information about our Statewide foster care support service.
