Foster Care Sector Celebrating Major Reforms

Representatives from the foster care sector are this week celebrating major reforms that will see young people right across regional Australia supported to the age of 21.

It follows a long-running campaign involving more than 150 organisations to ensure the 55,000 young Australians in out-of-home care can safely transition to adulthood.

Chair of The Home Stretch coalition, Paul McDonald, says it’s a fantastic achievement but there’s still more work to do, especially for young people living in regional areas.
