Foster and Kinship Carer Week

Foster and Kinship Carer Week is held every year and is an opportunity to celebrate the dedication and commitment of Queensland's foster and kinship carers. A range of grant-funded regional events are held throughout Queensland during the week to celebrate the positive work of our foster and kinship carers.

Foster and Kinship Carer Excellence Awards

As part of Foster and Kinship Carer Week, the department hosts an Excellence Awards ceremony to recognise those carers who have made extraordinary contributions to children and young people in their care. Read all about this year's award winners
