Foster care with a difference

Key Assets would like to talk to anyone who has experience in caring for children and young people with complex needs.

It takes a special type of person to become a foster carer, often forging a life changing career in the process. Foster carers from all walks of life are continually bringing about positive change to the lives of the children in care – in turn transforming their own lives.

Key Assets are an internationally acclaimed, award winning, not-for-profit foster care organisation, dedicated to servicing families and communities. If you have experience caring for children with complex needs, we would like to hear from you. Contact one of our foster care specialists on 1800 932 273 or Register Your Details and we will be in contact with you.
