IFYS Foster Care — Sunshine Coast
We support the needs of children and young people, from birth to 18, who are unable to live at home for a range of reasons. IFYS is committed to ensuring that children and young people in our care are reunited with their families.
As all children and young people are different and have unique needs, so is the kind of care and support that is needed. Our carers come from a range of backgrounds and life experiences and provide emergency, respite, short, medium and long term care, dependent upon their individual commitments and choices.
Meet Superhero Michael
Michael Coleman did not have a good start in life — his early experience mirrored that of many children in out-of-home care in Australia. Though only in care for a short period of time, it was enough to show Michael that there was another way of living and he could make different choices as he grew up. Today Michael is a police officer and another one of our community’s superheroes.
