20.01.2022 Children in alternative care often grow up in instability and uncertainty - it should not have to be like that. This is why we do what we do... to care for, to support, and to give these children a second chance at life. One of our founders, Leanne Robson, describes the most rewarding part of being a foster carer. "The most rewarding part about being a foster carer is watching the children make progress. Seeing them move past their anger and fear and begin to respond appropriately and to show empathy to others."

19.01.2022 Happy Fathers day for all Fathers and Carers from the team at Put Them First! We hope you all have the best Father's day and we want to thank you all for what you do. #FathersDay #PTFAus #FosterCare

18.01.2022 The ages between 0-4 are really important years in a childs cognitive development. Here are some milestones that the little ones achieve in those crucial years. We think it is absolutely amazing!

17.01.2022 Thank you Life Without Barriers for such a great video. We really resonate with "Just making sure they're happy, that's what our goal is: giving back". It is such as noble uptake for someone to become a foster carer. This is why we ensure they have all the support they need by providing nappy bags, training programs and a team of volunteers dedicated to making the system better everyday.

11.01.2022 Foster Carer Spotlight: Meet Sandra & Rick Sandra and Rick had been married for 15 years with two beautiful children of their own when they decided to open their home to kids in need. Having grown up with a foster sibling herself, Sandra was familiar with the idea of a non-traditional family structure, so it felt natural for her to step into the role of second-generation foster carer.... Rick also had some experience with the foster system having grown up in a kinship arrangement with his grandmother. While this made him want to pay homage to his Nana, he was initially hesitant about taking the leap to become a carer himself. Now a decade later, Sandra and Rick couldn’t imagine their lives without the joys and challenges of having extra kids around the house. This is their story... Thank you to Child and Family Queensland for sharing these stories, and enabling a channel for their voices to be heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch
