Could you be a permanent care parent?
There are a number of children supported by the Department of Health & Human Services who require a family for life as they are unable to live with their birth families. We are seeking committed and motivated people who would be interested in learning more about providing a permanent family for a child.
Assistance payments are made to the Permanent Care family to assist with the day to day expenses of caring for a child/young person. Assistance payments are considered to be a reimbursement for expenses and not an earned income.
We are also keen to speak with families who are particularly interested in caring for children aged between 5 and 10 years.
Information sessions are being held on:
Tuesday 20th March 2018 at 6:00pm
Department of Health & Human Services 43-47 Rowan Street, Wangaratta
Wednesday 21st March 2018 at 6:00pm
Department of Health & Human Services 163-167 Welsford Street, Shepparton
Bookings not essential. For further information please contact: Adoption & Permanent Care Program (: 5832 1552
Hello families, I hope you have been able to relax together in the great outdoors as these lovely Summer eve-nings have been inviting us all to do. I have seen many kids out and about on bikes, at sports’ events and swimming, and enjoying our great parks, playgrounds, lakes and reserves. There is so much to see and do right here in Mooroopna! Perhaps a family bbq in the park or at Kidstown is a possibility this weekend? Keep inspiring our young people to be creative in ways that come naturally and don’t require technology. This info-graphic is from the Office of the eSafety Commissioner, and their website esafety.gov.au is worth a look. Happy colourful days of Autumn ahead - see you around, Ros
