The primary objectives of the Foster Care CALD Specialist Program are to:

• better respond to the needs of children and young people from CALD backgrounds in foster care
• provide safety and the highest quality care to the child and young person from CALD backgrounds
• achieve a child or young person’s permanency objective

Community Service Organisations will need to demonstrate how the program supports children from CALD backgrounds in foster care to maintain their connection to their ethnic background, religion, and language.

Community Service Organisations are expected to develop proposals that consider the overarching principles and core elements identified in this call for submission.
