Aboriginal Outcomes Strategy Focus Area 2 Out of Home Care - Were the Targets Achieved
PDF - 3MB
The Department of Communities & Justice (DCJ) had a five-year strategy to reduce overrepresentation of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care (OOHC).
The strategy did not reduce Aboriginal over-representation in OOHC. None of the four targets were achieved. There was some progress toward each target, and DCJ came close to achieving one.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and pay our respects to all Elders past and present, and to the children of today who are the Elders of the future.
