Who can use the Information and Advice Service?Anyone involved in kinship care such as:
A Kinship Information and Advice Worker can be contacted at OzChild on (03) 9212 5600, or through this contact form (select Kinship Care). The office is open Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. Our reception staff will be able to tell you when the Kinship Information and Advice Worker is available. Information and Advice Service flyer Group SupportGroups provide invaluable support to kinship carers and the children or young people they care for. Meeting others in a similar situation can help normalise your experiences and break down isolation. OzChild has developed support and skill-based groups to help carers build their confidence and skills. Kinship carers are warmly invited to join the Carer Support Groups. If you care for a child who is not your own and you are directly related to the child, or, someone who is from the child or family's wider network, and live in the municipal areas of Frankston City, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Port Philip City, Stonnington City, Glen Eira City, Bayside City and Kingston City, you are invited to come and meet with other kinship carers with similar experiences. Share the highs and lows of being a kinship carer over morning tea. |
Would you like to be a carer for a child in need for a weekend, a few days, a few months or longer? Highly valued volunteers are also needed for the running of our services. See our positions available.
