- Positive Influence on Children – A safe and loving foster home is essential for a child’s emotional development. With care, guidance, and support, children can overcome challenges and build a brighter future.
- Personal Satisfaction – Many individuals who foster find a deep sense of purpose and joy in making a difference in a child’s life. The bonds formed with foster children can be profoundly rewarding.
- Skills Enhancement – Fostering not only benefits children but also fosters personal growth. Carers develop essential life skills such as empathy, problem-solving, and effective communication. Our training courses are designed to enhance both professional and personal capabilities, making the experience fulfilling.
- Benefit the Community – Supporting vulnerable children has a positive ripple effect on the local community. Fostering helps create a more compassionate society that addresses important social needs.
- Financial Assistance – Foster parents receive financial allowances to ease the expenses associated with caring for a foster child. This support allows carers to focus on providing for the child's needs without financial worry.

How Mosaic works differently to other foster agencies:
We’re focused on long term success
We’re not about short-term fixes. We only look for foster parents who are committed to supporting a foster child into adulthood. And, if you find you need a little time out along the way, our support workers and community of foster parents will step in and lift the load.
We never rush the matching process
Our diligent matching process ensures children are placed with families where they will not only fit but flourish. We don’t rush this process - all our foster children have in-person introductions before being placed to ensure the match to your family is right for them and you.
We can get the help you need, often within hours
Quick, tailored intervention is key to fostering success. We operate within our unique therapeutic framework, with our own in-house therapeutic team who step in without delay when an issue arises, to ensure challenges are addressed.
