Introducing the Inaugural FCAV Foster Carer Awards 2025
The FCAV knows every carer deserves an award for their profound contribution to the lives of children and young people, however we are proud to launch an annual Foster Carer Awards program to recognise and celebrate foster carers across the state. Nominations are now open for you to nominate an accredited foster carer in Victoria.
Our aim is to honour foster carers' dedication and inspire greater awareness and recognition across the broader community, by showcasing a shortlist of nominees and selecting two outstanding finalists each year. We aim to inspire greater awareness and recognition on the rewarding and everyday extraordinary role of foster carers in the lives of the children and young people in their care.
Nominating is easy. We have opened nominations with Agency and ACCO staff but you can nominate yourself, your partner, a foster carer you work with or in your family or friends network. For any accredited Victorian foster carer you would like recognised, simply share why they stand out, including inspiring examples of their commitment to care giving.
Nominations now open and close at 5pm on August 15th 2025.
Finalists will be announced in late August and our 2 winners will be announced in Foster Care Week, at the FCAV Carer Celebration on Friday 19th September, 2025.
*FCAV will continue to host our annual Commitment to Carers Awards. Worker nominations will open soon!
