When Anthony arrived in residential care in regional NSW and met his residential care worker Will Mafi, it was meant to be temporary - a place to land until a permanent home was found. But three years later, after other placements were explored, Anthony made a decision that changed everything: he chose to stay with Will, long-term.
On this episode of The Moment, DCJ foster carer Will joins Myf Warhurst and Lynne McGranger - Australia’s most famous (fictional!) foster carer on TV - to talk about how a single, gay, proud Tongan foster dad became exactly the person one young man needed in his corner... and why there’s no such thing as a 'right' type of foster carer.
Right now, there’s a real shortage of foster carers in New South Wales. NSW residents, if this story lands with you, search “Become a foster carer NSW” to find out more or go to nsw.gov.au/fostercare.
