- Aboriginal-led Data Sharing: Child Protection and Out-of-Home Care Statistics > Connection
Rationale
This an indicator of DCJ's objective to protect children and young people who are at risk of abuse and neglect within their families or whose families do not have the capacity to provide care and protection. High or increasing proportions of children and young people exiting out‑of‑home care to a permanency outcome for whom there was no return to out‑of‑home care is desirable.
Alignment: This aligns with the Report on Government Services (RoGS).

Comments
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.
Data changes:
- From 2022-23, District of Case Management Responsibility has replaced District for disaggregation. District of Case Management Responsibility reflects reflects where the child/young person's case plan is held at the end of the period.
Data counting rules:
- 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 as at 30 June 2018 is not directly comparable to historic data previously published. When adjusted to make them comparable, there was a decrease of 27.3% in the number of children and young people in OOHC, compared to 30 June 2017. Compared to 30 June 2016, there was a decrease of 44.5% in the number of children and young people in OOHC as at 30 June 2018.
Data limitations:
- Nil.
Data source:
- KiDS/MDS - Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW) for annual data up to 2016-17
- ChildStory – Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW) for annual data from 2017-18.
