• Providing a loving and caring home, routine, and passing on basic life skills.

You will also have:

• A suitable living space, including a spare bedroom.

What’s in it for you?

This is a great opportunity to make a difference in a young person’s life by helping to sculpt a successful path for a child who needs a structured and therapeutic environment.

• You will be paid a monthly tax-free allowance of $6,667, and you might also be eligible for Family Tax Benefit A&B.
• Be a part of a program that helps children develop the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
