Care Matters | Churches of Christ

Care is what REALLY matters.

Our foster carers are everyday people doing extraordinary things. All of them share one common goal – they want to provide hope and brighter futures for Queensland children who need it most. These amazing people are currently looking after 1,800 children, but the job isn’t done. No matter your background, your family dynamics or your life experience, you can change a life. At the end of the day, providing a safe, stable and caring home is what really matters. Enquire today and start your fostering journey.

Who can be a foster carer?

Any Queenslander can apply to become a foster carer. If you're an adult, care about children and are able to provide a safe, stable and caring home, you could make a great foster carer.

“I have been a Foster Carer with Churches of Christ for the past 6 years. Our Case Managers, Team Leaders and Regional Managers have always been very respectful and available to me and assist wherever they can. They have always validated and appreciated our position as Foster Carers.”
