Are you elegible to foster?
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 might make a great foster carer. Our carers can be singles, couples, families, LGBTIQ+, renters, home-owners, full-time workers and stay-at-home parents. Becoming a foster parent is incredibly rewarding - you really are changing a child's life for the better, every day.

Single, de-facto, married, LGBTIQ+, you can apply to be a foster carer.

Kids or teens of your own, grandkids or no children, this doesn't matter - you can apply to be a foster carer.

You'll need to be an adult, and there's no maximum age - many older people make great foster carers.
Your home
Renter or home owner, you can apply to be a foster carer. Others in your home will need to support your decision, though.
