Comments
The percentage figures refer to the total number of children and young people in statutory OOHC in each FACS district by Aboriginality as at 30 June as a percentage of the total number of children and young people in statutory OOHC in each DCJ district as at 30 June.
Statutory OOHC:
A child is included in Statutory OOHC based on the combination of their Placement Type and Parental Responsibility (PR) allocation. PR is determined from the child’s legal order. A child is counted in Statutory OOHC if their PR allocation is one of the following:
- PR to Minister
- PR to Minister (protected person)
- PR to Agency
- PR to Non-relative
AND There is a current open placement/whereabouts recorded where placement type/whereabouts is not one of the following:- Placed with parents (including self-placed with parents)
- Juvenile Justice
- Camp
- Hospital/Rehabilitation
- Refuges (including supported community housing)
- Boarding school
- Absent Location Unknown
- Self-Placed
Data limitations:
- In 2017-18 changes were made to OOHC counting rules to better align those with national reporting and to also better reflect the legal status of clients in OOHC. The result for this measure as at 30 June 2018 is not directly comparable to historic data previously published.
Data source:
- KiDS – Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW) for annual data up to 2016-17
- ChildStory – Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW) for annual data from 2017-18
Data ageing:
- Data ageing is two months, unless otherwise indicated. Therefore, the data for this indicator will be available two months after the end of the month in which the data first becomes available.
