Lisa is a Foster Carer with Lutheran Care, a co-founder of a 400-strong Foster Carer movement, The Carer Project and joint winner of the 2023 South Australian Foster Carer of the Year Award.
The Carer Project supports and advocates on behalf of carers, helping them understand and navigate the child protection system, and helping their voices be heard. In addition to her advocacy work, the direct impact Lisa has had on many children and young people’s lives as a Foster Carer is undeniable, despite her best attempts to deflect the spotlight. Lisa has supported more than 200 placements over her 16 years as a carer, through a broad spectrum of care types, including Emergency, Short-Term and Long-Term care placements.
