  The web site says you get a monthly visit as foster carers, maybe an hour? Say the social worker is paid $100 a visit. That is $1200 a year.

  The CEO Todd Yourell sued a foster carer who criticized him for $100,000 presumably using the charity's money [paid by tax payers.]

  I recently attended a CASPA workshop on complex trauma and attachment for children and adolescents. As a new foster carer, the information shared by the workshop leader was invaluable. He was able to provide the necessary information and strategies to support children in care. Indeed, it should be required professional development for parents, schools and early childhood educators.

  If we take this figure from the $88,000 they get paid $49,000 is left over which they keep for themselves.

  Anglicare/ Caspa are a foster care agency, they get paid $88,000 per child placed per year of tax payers money by the NSW state government. They recruit foster carers to do all the work accommodating and looking after the kids. According to their web site they pay foster carers UP TO $39,000 per year.

  Some of it goes to lawyers who sue foster carers that criticize them.

  The foster children they place could be violent teenagers on bail for assaulting a teacher, excluded from school, the foster carer has to supervise these kids all day every day 24 hours a day, accommodate, feed, pay for activities, home school drive them around etc, for a payment that is less than what a day care center gets paid for looking after a well behaved toddler. If the foster carer needs any help they are told there is NO MONEY.
