Child & Youth Services
The Child and Youth Services Team aims to provide flexible, integrated responses to meet the childcare, youth and family support needs of our local community. We do this by offering a range of services such as:
Foster Care
Providing children and young people unable to live with their families with a safe, caring and nurturing environment in the homes of approved foster carers while ensuring that they maintain their sense of belonging and connectedness to their families.
Limited Hours Childcare
Licenced Centre based childcare for children 18 months - 5 years. Children enjoy developmental activities and play, interacting with children of mixed ages, under the guidance of caring and qualified staff. This service is provided 4 days a week for up to 4 hours.
Rumpus Room
Providing on-site childcare for families who are engaged in activities on the premises such as training, morning teas, support groups and community working parties, and also as a Playgroup facility.
