Sometimes, the difference between chaos and comfort is just one person. Emergency and short-term foster carers step into a child’s life when they need safety, stability, and compassion; fast.
At Key Assets Australia, we know that even a short stay can have a lifelong impact. Children in crisis need a calm, caring adult to welcome them, not forever, but for now.
Annette, a carer from Key Assets Australia, knows this well. Over the years, she has provided over 1,167 nights of care to children, some for just a few days, while others have received care for several years. Each child has brought their own challenges, but also left their own mark.
“Seeing children developing new skills and growing their confidence as they live in a safe and happy environment, they learn that life doesn’t have to always be traumatic,” says Annette.
“Even the smallest moments make a difference. At times, things can be tough, but the positive changes in children can often outweigh the negative. The changes I have seen in children in my care bring so much reward and happiness.”
Emergency and short-term carers are urgently needed right now.
You don’t need to have parenting experience. Just empathy, flexibility, and a willingness to open your door.
Key Assets Australia provides:
• 24/7 support and guidance
• Paid respite and training
• A dedicated worker and carer network
• Tailored supports for the child
• Social events and wellbeing programs
You’ll never do this alone, and your impact could be immeasurable.
