We're going through the paperwork for permanent foster care at the moment, and they talked a bit about it at our info session.

I think, if you've gone through DCP and done their training courses, been assessed etc, then you are an approved carer. However, if you've gone through an agency to be a carer, like Anglicare, then you're a registered carer. Does that make sense?

This is just what I'm thinking, don't take it as law I have no idea about the financial side of things, maybe BG would know?

HTH anyway hun
