Over 350 children and young people in NSW are urgently seeking foster care. Close to 100 of the 350 are living in our diocese alone. CatholicCare is doing all it can to meet this need – but more carers are desperately needed.

Bishop Brian has recorded a short video that outlines the challenges of the foster care system and is urging all parishioners within the Wollongong Diocese to discern if you can help.

For more information on becoming a foster carer, please contact CatholicCare on phone number: 02 4227 1122 or email fosteringfutures@catholiccare.dow.org.au.

CatholicCare will provide you and your family with training, emotional support, and financial assistance to ensure that you are supported every step of the way.
