Out-of-home care: Children will be placed in OOHC, when they were the subject of a substantiation and require a more protective environment. OOHC is considered an intervention of last resort, with the current emphasis being to keep children with their families wherever possible. An attempt to subsequently reunite children with their families will be made through preservation programs. Placement within the wider family or community will be considered, especially under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle.
The types of placements in OOHC includes home based care (in the home of a carer who is reimbursed for expenses in caring for the child); residential care in a residential building whose purpose is to provide placement for children and where there is paid staff.
