Hi, will the training also be available to follow after the online session? Due to the time difference between Australia and South Africa following it online would be difficult. I would love to do the training and still receive my certificate.
Hi Denise
Thank you for making contact. Unfortunately, the online training support group will be a closed group and therefore participants will need to attend the group at the allotted time. For this reason, the group will only be available to people residing in Australia.
Please contact us via our email address at admin@nofasd.org.au if we can offer support in any other way. Many thanks Sophie.

Thanks for your interest.
This would be a awesome program for all kinship and foster Carer’s. Even if at later date it was run during a day time period so kinship carers could participate easily as some may be preparing meals. At the night times.
Hi Wendi,
Thank you for your feedback. It is not possible to find a time which suits everyone, as carers are such busy people! We are always talking about how we can best support families and will certainly keep your comments in mind if we are able to offer this again in future.
I’m very interested in the course can it be done on an iPhone as I don’t have a computer
