Identifying strategies to better support foster, kinship and permanent carers: final report

Published

The Australian Institute of Family Studies has published the final report from the research project 'Identifying Strategies to Better Support Foster, Kinship and Permanent Carers'.

This project consisted of both a desktop review, and consultations with key stakeholders and carers.

It identified a number of key challenges for carers, occurring in four (overlapping) areas:

  • systemic challenges
  • challenges inherent to the caring role including meeting the needs of children, and the impact of caring on the carer, including the financial impacts
  • challenges nurturing a child’s connection with community, culture and Country
  • challenges with family contact

The full report can be accessed on the APO website
