SHORT HISTORY
The FCAV and the idea of offering support to strengthen foster care families was conceived by an amazing group of foster carers. Through their passion and with the support of many in the sector, FCAV was incorporated in May 1992. Enhanced Government funding was secured for the organisation in 2004 with some additional philanthropic support.
