Uniting WA

Uniting acknowledges the Noongar People as the Traditional Custodians of this land on which we provide our services. We recognise their unique and spiritual connection to Country and waters. We value the oldest continuing culture in the world and pay our respect to Elders past and present. And we act with impact.

All children have the right to be supported in a nurturing environment where they feel safe, valued and heard. We believe this can be achieved by empowering children, young people and families to heal from their past trauma and develop to their full potential. Our team adopts a therapeutic, trauma-informed approach to the services we provide, with a focus on personalised counselling and support, as well as reunification support.

Every family is different. And we believe that every family has strengths and resources that can be built on to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their children. Our trauma-informed approach supports families to navigate the every-day challenges they face, with a focus on parenting skills and the development of coping strategies to build long-term resilience.

As a foster carer with Uniting, you'll get the practical and financial support you need for you and the child you support to thrive. Uniting WA provides a specialised foster care service in Perth that connects foster carers with children and young people who aren't able to live in their family home, and who have high support needs due to experiences of illness, disability or trauma as a result of abuse and neglect.

We'll support you to live the life you choose. That means that we'll work alongside you and support you in the way you want to be supported - you're in the driver's seat. We're a provider of services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), with a focus on person-centred services. Our services are available throughout Perth and the Great Southern region.
