Definition
The Minister for DCJ holds parental responsibility for a child/young person, by order of the Children’s Court.
The order requires the child/young person to live with a person who is not their parent in a place which is not their parental home, such as foster, residential or kinship care.
Parental responsibility may be delegated by DCJ to a non-government organisation, which takes responsibility for case management and engaging/supporting carers.
