Framework Dimensions
Rationale
A case plan is an indicator of providing services that meet the needs of individual children and young people in child protection. A high or increasing rate of children with current documented case plans is desirable.
This indicator does not assess the quality of plans or the extent to which identified needs and actions are put into place.
Alignment
This aligns with national reporting in the Report on Government Services (RoGS).
Benchmark
The target is 93.0%.

Comments
Data ageing:
- Data ageing is two months, unless otherwise indicated. Therefore, the data for this measure will be available two months after the end of the month in which the data first becomes available.
Data changes:
- From 2022-23, the District of Case Management Responsibility has replaced District for disaggregation in OOHC.
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 2017-18 result for this measure 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.
