As the go to organisation for the community, PCA Families delivers individual support and peer support services to permanent care, kinship care and adoptive families, informed by lived experience and research.
Whether you’re a prospective family, a new family or an established family, we have brought together information and resources to help navigate and respond to different stages of your family’s permanent care and adoption journey.
Stay up to date with upcoming events by becoming a member (it’s free!) and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook.
Permanent care, kinship care and adoptive families are an often hidden and under-supported group. They care for some of the most vulnerable children in our community. We often hear from parents and carers that raising children from permanent care, kinship care and adoption backgrounds is rewarding, but that many families also experience a range of challenges. Families deserve to have their voices heard by those who make decisions on behalf of children.
Donations enable PCA Families to deliver high quality programs and advocate with and for children and families. PCA Families also supports parents and carers to become self-advocates. You can get involved by:
