The problem
Memories lost.
Identity broken.
For many children in out-of-home or alternative care — foster, kinship, residential, youth justice and disability services — precious memories are easily lost. Photos, videos, school reports, certificates, artwork. The moments that tell the story of who they are.
CaringLife gives carers, children, social workers and family members the ability to securely upload photos, videos, school reports, certificates, artwork and journal entries — giving children secure digital access to their life memories and documents, forever.
When a young person leaves care, their CaringLife account remains theirs to keep.
The Australian Childhood Foundation is very pleased to support the CaringLife app. These are the things we take for granted in our own lives. We all know how important and special these things are. They speak to who we are, our sense of identity and belonging.
Janise Mitchell
CEO, Australian Childhood Foundation
Every memory. Every format.
Photos. Videos. Artwork.
Documents. Journals.
All of it.
If it matters to a child, it belongs in CaringLife.
Unlike other platforms, CaringLife supports photos, videos and documents in one secure place — so nothing gets left behind.
Photos & videos
Photos and videos bring memories to life — the birthday candles being blown out, the school concert, the holiday laughter, the funny face at home, and the everyday moments a child can see, hear and feel again.
Certificates & awards
Every achievement, no matter how small. Proof that they tried, competed, and succeeded — kept safe forever.
School reports
A record of their learning journey — the progress, the challenges, the moments teachers noticed something special.
Artwork
A child’s creativity is part of who they are. Drawings, paintings, craft — captured and kept, not lost in a move.
Birthday cards & letters
The cards and letters that remind a child they are loved — scanned and saved so they can read them again and again.
Journal entries
Carers, social workers and children can all upload journal entries, helping capture everyday moments, reflections and stories in one secure place.
Simple for
carers.
Streamlined for social workers.
Life changing for
children.
01 — Upload
Everyone adds memories
Carers, children, social workers and family members can all securely upload photos, videos, documents and journal entries — capturing milestones, achievements and everyday moments.
02 — Review
Social workers can moderate
Social workers and case managers can review and moderate all content, ensuring every memory and comment is preserved safely and privately for life.
03 — Move
Child moves placements
When a young person moves to a new care family or residential home, the new carers connect to the existing account. No memories lost in transition.
04 — Forever
Account stays theirs for life
Content is accessible forever — even when the young person leaves care or reaches adulthood. Their story. Their account. Always.
Use it on any device.
Anytime. Anywhere.
CaringLife works on your phone, tablet and desktop — so memories can be added and accessed wherever life happens.

Endorsements
Backed by the people who know this work best.
“The Australian Childhood Foundation is very pleased to support the CaringLife app. Its intent is to support carers and children in out-of-home care to be able to keep the records, mementoes and memories so often lost to children and young people due to multiple moves. These are the things we take for granted in our own lives. They speak to who we are, our sense of identity and belonging.”
Janise Mitchell
CEO, Australian Childhood Foundation
“Childhood memories are precious and powerful. CaringLife secures these for life, ensuring that children and young people can access what belongs to them whenever and however they choose to. The Fostering Network is proud to endorse this innovative and child-centred development.”
Sarah Thomas
CEO, The Fostering Network
“A fragmented, damaged, discontinuous personal narrative puts an individual child at risk. CaringLife provides a terrific way for children to be able to access their life moments in an easy and continuous way, and I support the use of CaringLife for children in out-of-home care.”
