At MacKillop Family Services, we believe every child deserves the best. And the best place for children is in a supportive and nurturing family so they can heal and develop to their potential. We support all children, young people and families to be safe, thriving and connected to culture and community.

We work across New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, delivering a wide range of services including foster, kinship and residential care; disability services; youth and homelessness support, alternative education schools and outreach; and early intervention support for families. Everything we do is child-focused, family-centred, and grounded in cultural safety.

There is no typical carer at MacKillop. Our carers are single, couples and families, from diverse cultural backgrounds, with a wide range of skills, abilities and life experiences. Some are working, some are retired, and some care fullโ€‘time.  What they share is a commitment to providing safe, supportive homes where children can belong. We value inclusion and diversity, and MacKillop is proud to be a Rainbow Tick accredited organisation.


If you have the time to invest in a childโ€™s life and the willingness to work collaboratively as part of a care team, we would love to talk with you about becoming a foster carer.
