Absolutely appalling

Absolutely appalling. A chaotic bunch of bigoted morons. Don’t be fooled into putting your trust in these cack-handed muppets, they’re only in it for themselves and will bend the rules to make sure they appear to come out on top but as with all these types of poorly managed organisations, they will all receive their comeuppance eventually. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I am sorry that you feel the need to comment negatively on an Agency you have never worked with. Those who do work with us, appreciate our ethos of looking after and supporting everyone equally. This is experienced by children, foster carers and staff.

Amazing family-first agency

As a first-time foster carer, we took our time finding the right agency. Soundly were a great fit for us. When we need support, we always get it. Kat and Joy who run the agency are absolute stars!
I love the many events they run throughout the year - beach days, outdoor activities etc. It brings the kids and the carers together like the community/family that we are.
Because they are a small agency, you get that one-to-one support that often needed. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Thank you Mikey, it's great to have you both as part of the team. It has been a pleasure supporting your fostering journey and seeing the young man who lives with you enjoy so many opportunities. Enjoyed our day bush crafting today as well!

Thank you Peter, I am glad you are having such a positive experience with us at Soundly Fostering. Please let me know if there is ever anything any of us can do more, or differently, to support you and the children.

What an amazing agency to work for!

What an amazing agency to work for - I cannot praise Soundly enough for their care, professionalism, dedication and support of us as carers, our placement children as well as our birth children. If you do not want to be “just a number” then this is the agency to work for and with. They are always available, either on the phone no matter time of day or night or in person should they be needed. After working for another agency where you were just a number and no-one knew you or the children, and trying to talk to an actual person was a real mission, transferring to Soundly was the best decision I have ever made. If you are considering a career as a foster carer, I would highly recommend this agency as your starting point.

Thank you Debra, we feel fortunate to work with such professional and lovely carers. Your whole household, with children feeling and knowing they are a part of the family, is a credit to you both.

Soundly have exceeded expectations of…

Soundly have exceeded expectations of what a fostering agency should be. Their caring nature shines through from the fostered children, foster carers, birth children. They have the ability to make you feel at ease while still remaining professional.
Our only regret is we didn't find Soundly at the beginning of our fostering journey, we had a very negative experience elsewhere.
