💙💛 Foster Care Week 2026 – Celebrating Our Amazing Carers 💛💙

Southern events!

Foster Care Week is a wonderful opportunity to recognise, celebrate and thank the incredible foster, kinship and informal carers who open their homes and their hearts to children and young people.

Being a carer can come with challenges, but the difference carers make every single day is enormous. Sometimes it’s the little things — a safe home, a listening ear, a warm meal, a bedtime story or simply being there — that can make the biggest difference in a child’s life. ❤️

This year we have some special opportunities to come together in the South, connect with other carers and celebrate the amazing contribution carers make across Tasmania.

Parliament House Reception
📅 Wednesday 9 September
⏰1:15pm-2:15pm
More details are available on the accompanying flyer.

☕ Morning Tea
📅 Friday 18 September
📍 Gellibrand, Newtown
⏰ 10am–12 noon
No RSVP needed — just pop in!

We would love to see carers come along, connect with one another at these special events.

Happy Foster Care Week to all our amazing carers! 🌟
