Foster Care Complete Form

Thank you for your interest in becoming a foster carer with Pathfinders!

If you would like to take the next step towards becoming a foster carer, please complete this form and a health checklist for each applicant and return all forms to Pathfinders. Once we have received your forms, we will contact you to arrange an initial home visit. This visit allows us to meet you and exchange information about foster caring. Home visits are also an opportunity for us to complete a ‘Home Safety Inspection Check’, where we assess the suitability of your home environment for foster care. Prior to receiving approval as a foster carer, applicants are required to be involved in an assessment process that includes face-to-face sessions, group training, background checks, and a home safety check.

To read a description of the different types of foster care options please check our foster care page.
