Family Spirit NSW is a specialised foster care, guardianship, and adoption agency operating across the greater Sydney metropolitan region. Formed as a partnership between CatholicCare Sydney and Marist180, it helps vulnerable children and young people find safe, stable, and nurturing homes.
We support children and young people to stay safely with their families where possible, provide nurturing foster care when needed, and help them transition to independent adulthood. We also support foster carers and deliver adoption services.
Our services include support to help families stay together, foster care (including respite, emergency, kinship, short-term and long-term), guardianship and adoption. We also support young people to transition from care to living independently.
Looking for helpful information about foster care, parenting, adoption, or supporting children and young people? Our resources provide practical guides, expert advice, and useful tools to support prospective carers, current carers, families, and the wider community.
Join our community and help make a difference. Whether you're interested in becoming a foster carer, providing emergency care, or joining our team, there are many ways to get involved.
