The Foster Care Association of Victoria proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2022!

Since 1992, the FCAV has been an incorporated body of passionate foster carers and supporters with a desire to make a difference in the lives of children and young people who are in care, their carers and the system they care within. Board members, volunteers and staff have worked tirelessly ever since to improve the supports and recognition of foster care in the out of home care system and in the community.

The FCAV has grown from a small representative group of foster carers to today, offering critical and unique statewide foster care services, membership engagement and support to carers and the sector, as the well-respected peak body for foster carers in Victoria.

The FCAV has proudly advocated for the needs of carer households and supported individual carers, our sector partners and our foster carer membership to achieve great change within the system for carers, with an evidence-based knowledge of the continued need for improvement into the future.

Standby for information on the events planned to look back and celebrate this milestone of FCAV's provision of foster care support, advocacy, training and opportunities for the last 30 years, and to look towards the future with our 5,200 carer and nearly 500 strong associate members.
