Accredited foster carers provide care for children and young people when they can’t live safely at home. They provide a secure and safe environment for children who have suffered serious child abuse, neglect and family violence.
Kinship carers provide invaluable care to children and young people when they can’t live safely at home. Our Kinship Care Program offers network information, advice and support, and case management services to kinship carers and their extended family.
Residential care is a model of support for children and young people living in out-of-home care. Residential care provides young people with a place to live and 24-hour in-home carer support when they are unable to live with family, kinship carers or foster carers.
The Teaching Family Model (TFM) offers a new, innovative way of caring for children and young people in a family-style setting.
As a major provider of out-of-home care services across Victoria, Berry Street actively supports young people when they leave the protection and care system.
