Story
Permanent Care and Adoptive Familes (trading name of the Post Placement Support Service, PPSS) is a Victorian, not for profit early intervention service working with permanent care and adoptive families.
These families are diverse; while some children join their families directly through permanent and adoptive placements, others find their permanent families through the pathways of foster care, kith and kinship care. With numbers of permanent care placements growing, a range of services that for families are needed.
PCA Families believes that strong families build successful life outcomes for children. Established in 2003, PCA Families has delivered high-impact early-intervention supports and services to families for over 10 years. PCA Families has developed these services with the direction, effort and care of committed staff, volunteers and families, many of whom have lived experience of permanent care and adoption. In the last year alone, PCA Families connected and supported over 4,000 Victorian families and individuals. Read more about PCA Families work here. More information about permanent care and adoption is available here.
This October, several members and supporters of PCA Families will be walking and running as part of the Melbourne Marathon Festival.
ALL donations you give go directly to our work with children and families, and a tax deductible receipt will be emailed to you.
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference!
A special thank you to those who have supported PCA Families along the way, including the Tonic PT personal training studio in Carlton..

Post Placement Support Service (VIC) Inc
Vision: Strong families in permanent care and adoption.
What We Do: Established in 2003, PPSS delivers preventative and early intervention, peer-based services for families in
permanent care and adoption to assist them in raising children affected by trauma, abuse, neglect, grief and loss.
These comprise:
• peer networks to connect, inform and support parents and carers;
• training and education on parenting children affected by trauma, abuse, neglect, grief and loss;
• advice and information on adoption-competent therapeutic services;
• education and support for children and young people in navigating issues and experiences relating to adoption
or care; and
• education and information for practitioners to build their understanding of the needs and experiences of
families in kinship care, permanent care and adoption.
Through informing and equipping families to respond to the needs of their children, PPSS services prevent the
need for costly crisis services in the areas of health, education, mental health, law and justice as these vulnerable
children grow into adulthood. All services are underpinned by our lived experience of the needs of children and
families in care and adoption. Our services save families and, in some instances, have been said to save lives.
