"Foster and relative carers will receive up to $2300 more per year under a new support package. Families and Communities Minister Jay Weatherill outlined the package as part of an appeal for more foster and relative carers. “The number of children in State care has been increasing dramatically – and as the events of last week have graphically demonstrated, we have children in our community who need a safe home,” Mr Weatherill said."
