Census collection period extended!

The Foster Care Association of Victoria (FCAV) is conducting a state-wide foster carer census to hear from all accredited current, past or on-hold foster carers and learn more about your experience, and how foster carers can best be supported in Victoria.

The online survey period has been extended and will now close 19th May 2026 to give every carer a chance to be heard.

Your information is vital evidence of the circumstances, experiences and needs of foster carers providing care to the children and young people in care in Victoria. 

ORIMA Research, is conducting the Census on behalf of the FCAV.  Any information provided to ORIMA Research is strictly confidential and no individual person will be identified.

Carers registered with a current email address with the FCAV will receive a unique link and information from Orima Research to complete the survey. Please check your inbox including spam folder.

If you are not yet a member of the FCAV or have trouble locating your email link from Orima, please email fcav@fcav.org.au or call (03) 9416 4292.

Carers who complete the survey can chose to enter a prize draw to win one of 8 x $50 gift vouchers.

Thank you for taking the time to participate.
