How We Work

WHAT IS FOSTERING BEGINNINGS?

Everyday People Care For Kids Every Day.

Fostering Beginnings is a program that helps people explore whether caring for children could be right for them.

We’re run by Social Care Solutions (SCS) — a for-purpose social enterprise that’s been training and assessing carers for more than 16 years. Our team brings decades of frontline child protection experience, and we use that experience to make the process clearer, kinder and easier to navigate

We’re proudly funded by the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, and we’re here for everyday people who want to talk about caring in South East Queensland.
