Child Protection

Foster Care

IFYS has been providing foster and kinship care services to children and young people, in the care of the Department of Child Safety, since 1992. 

Our service is contracted to support children and young people who live locally on the Sunshine Coast and Cairns region. As all children and young people are different and have unique needs, so is the kind of care and support that is needed.
