Child welfare is primarily based on open care support measures. If the child's health or growth and development are seriously threatened by lack of care or other circumstances, we must resort to substitute care, which usually takes the form of family care.
Placement in substitute care requires a client relationship with child welfare services and a placement decision made by the social worker of the municipality responsible for the child's affairs. The client support group for family care finds a suitable foster family for each child. The wishes of the child and the parents are taken into account when choosing the family.
The need for a family care placement is assessed on an individual basis, taking into account your child's needs and interests, in cooperation with the guardians, the child and the child welfare social worker. The placement decision is made by the social worker responsible for the child.
You can contact the emergency child welfare service if you feel that the health and development of a child close to you are endangered by the child's growth environment or their own behaviour. You can contact the emergency child welfare service during office hours at 09 4191 5500.
Family care follows a client plan that is drawn up by social workers together with the child, parents and family carers. The plan is used to provide the child and the family with the right kind of support and monitor their rehabilitation. The child's chances of returning home are assessed throughout the process. Family care social work is responsible for the affairs of the child and the family during family care.

Sometimes the resources of the family are not enough to ensure the growth and development of a child or young person. In such case, the upbringing of a child can be organised outside the home. The child or young person can be placed either with a family or in a child welfare institution.
Family care means organising the care and upbringing of a child in a foster home. Family carers of children and young people are also called foster parents.
