Become an FCAWA member today
FCAWA proudly supports Foster carers and children, building connection, advocacy, and leadership across Western Australia.
Advocacy
Being a Foster and Family carer is a generous and deeply meaningful role, but it can also be challenging, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming especially when caring for children who have experienced trauma while navigating complex systems. Support and advocacy services are there to walk alongside foster carers, helping them understand what to expect, communicate confidently, work through difficulties, and feel respected as important members of a child’s care team.
