Connection, care and capability across South Australia

Kin Care Connect Services helps people, families and professionals build stronger connections and practical pathways forward. We support kinship and foster carers, NDIS participants, families navigating post-separation child connections, isolated community members, volunteers and social and community services professionals.

Our committed and skilled practitioners work in trauma-informed, culturally safe and person-centred ways, drawing on each person’s strengths.

Support that builds connection and capability

Kin Care Connect Services offers practical, person-centred support across South Australia for carers, families, NDIS participants, professionals, volunteers and people experiencing isolation. Our trauma-informed and culturally safe practitioners work collaboratively, focusing on strengths, goals and meaningful participation.

Kinship/Foster carer assessments

Thorough kinship/Foster carer assessments help families and services understand a carer’s strengths, circumstances, and support needs. We use a respectful, child-focused approach throughout the assessment process. Our practitioners are trained in the Psycho-Social, Winangay, and Step by Step carer assessment tools, which are approved by the Department for Child Protection, South Australia.

Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)

Functional Capacity Assessments identify how disability affects everyday life, communication, relationships and community participation. Findings can support clear, practical recommendations aligned with an NDIS participant’s goals.

Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA)

Functional Behaviour Assessments seek to understand the purpose and context of behaviours of concern. We work with participants, families and support teams to develop informed, strengths-based strategies.

Professional supervision

Reflective, strengths-focused supervision is available for social work and community services practitioners. Sessions support ethical practice, professional growth, wellbeing and confident decision-making.

Social and family connection programs

Welcoming spaces and programs help families maintain connection, including post-separation child connection support. Activities are tailored to individual circumstances and promote safe, respectful relationships.

Training and capability development

Practical training helps professionals, carers and community teams build knowledge, confidence and culturally safe practice. Content can be shaped around your organisation’s people, priorities and service environment.

Volunteer development and social connection

Volunteer development programs equip people to contribute safely and meaningfully in their communities. Our connection initiatives reduce social isolation for vulnerable, deprived and disconnected community members.
