Could you offer a child a safe, stable home for the long term?

Please note: this is a foster care placement, not employment. Carers are not employees and do not receive a salary or wage. A generous tax-free subsidy is paid fortnightly to help meet the costs of caring.

About the placement

My Place is seeking a specialised foster carer for a friendly and outgoing 15-year-old boy living with Cerebral Palsy. He responds well to predictable routines, gentle encouragement and calm, caring support.

He loves being active and spending time with people he knows, whether that’s going for bike rides, playing soccer, swimming, heading to the park, or enjoying a game of Uno, Jenga or hide-and-seek. He communicates through gestures and a communication device and takes pride in building his independence.

He has disability-related and medical care needs, including PEG feeding and assistance with daily activities.

He is looking for a caring and stable home where he can feel safe and supported, celebrate his achievements and continue building his independence, while maintaining important connections with his family and Aboriginal culture.

Who we're looking for

People with backgrounds in childcare, disability support, healthcare,



education or other caring roles often make wonderful foster carers — but great carers come from many walks of life. What matters most is:

- a home environment with a spare bedroom and a home that can meet the child's access needs

- a willingness to learn

- patience and compassion

- the ability to provide a safe, consistent and nurturing setting

- capacity to work alongside a support team and other professionals

What My Place provides

- A generous tax-free subsidy of up to $3000 per fortnight

- Comprehensive training before and throughout the placement

- Specialist guidance and support from a dedicated team

- Respite every second weekend with an established carer

- A multidisciplinary team already working with the child

Requirements

All carers must complete an assessment process, which includes a Working with Children Check, National Police Clearance, medical clearance, referee checks and a home assessment. Support is provided throughout.
