2025 National Foster & Kinship Care Conference Online Summary

The Conference Online Summary brings together key insights and moments from the 2025 National Foster & Kinship Care Conference, held in Sydney from 28–30 November 2025. It offers an accessible way to engage with the content shared across the three days, with a clear focus on supporting foster and kinship carers to feel confident, supported and empowered in their role.

For carers who were unable to attend in person, the online summary provides access to conversations and perspectives that speak directly to the realities of caring for children and young people in out-of-home care. For professionals and agencies, it offers a way to better understand and support carers, and to strengthen learning that contributes to safe, stable and nurturing care.

What you’ll get access to

The Conference Online Summary includes a curated selection of session highlights from Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 – including from keynote speakers Sarah Naish and Brenda Heyworth. Content follows the conference program and reflects key themes and lived experience perspectives shared throughout the event.

Sessions are grouped by day so you can watch what matters most to you, at your own pace, and return to the content while access remains available.

Prices are inclusive of GST.

Please note:

Access to all Conference Online Summary content will close at the end of March.
