IPART is currently reviewing the cost of delivering OOHC and the pricing arrangements with the non-government providers who deliver care under contract with the NSW Government. We are also looking at the allowance foster carers, relatives and kinship carers receive to meet the costs of providing care and support to children and young people.

We are holding several workshops with carers to discuss the costs of caring and options for how to better support carers to continue caring. Each workshop is targeted towards different types of carers:

14 October Online foster and respite carer workshop 11:00AM - 12:30PM
15 October Online foster and respite carer workshop 11:00AM - 12:30PM (Registrations closed)
16 October Online kinship and relative carer workshop 11:00AM - 12:30PM
17 October In-Person Western Sydney all carer workshop 11:00AM - 1:00PM
23 October Online disability and high needs carer workshop 11:00AM - 12:30PM
23 October Online all carer workshop 5:00PM - 6:30PM
28 October Online foster and kinship carer workshop (Aboriginal foster and kinship carers only) 11:00AM - 12:30PM

If you’re not sure which workshop is best for you, please pick one that you think best suits you or get in touch with our team (Monica Cusack monica.cusack@ipart.nsw.gov.au).

If you wish to give your feedback but do not feel comfortable participating in an online workshop, please contact Monica to arrange a phone interview or a private online meeting with our team.
