Comments

This indicator includes:

  • all children for whom final adoption orders were made, and
  • orders that were made in Australia and, in the case of some intercountry adoptions, where the full adoption order was made in the country of origin.

These figures are sourced from Adoption Services records that are provided to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) for the annual Adoptions Australia report. ‘Bilateral adoptions’ were referred to as ‘non-Hague’ adoptions prior to 2017-18. ‘Other’ includes children adopted by commissioning parent(s) (surrogate parents), whether the commissioning parent is a relative or not.

Data source:

  • Adoption Services Records.
