Reporting Information
The Annual Statistical Report reports this indicator annually.
Published by NSW Department of Communities and Justice.
Framework Dimensions
- Annual Statistical Report (2021-2022) > Active and Inclusive Communities > Supporting Aboriginal Children, Families and Communities
- Annual Statistical Report (2021-2022) > Children and Families Thrive > Supporting children in out-of-home care
- Annual Statistical Report (2022-2023) > Active and Inclusive Communities > Supporting Aboriginal Children, Families and Communities
- Annual Statistical Report (2022-2023) > Children and Families Thrive > Supporting children in out-of-home care
Rationale
The number of children entering OOHC directly drives the number of children in OOHC. Reducing entries while maintaining child safety would reflect best practice and potentially measure the performance of the the child protection system.
Alignment: This aligns with national reporting in the Report on Government Services (RoGS).

Comments
The percentage figures refer to the total number of Aboriginal children and young people entering OOHC for the first time during the reporting period as a percentage of the total number of children and young people entering OOHC for the first time during the reporting period.
Data for non-Aboriginal children and young people also includes children and young people with status not stated.
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.
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/MDS - Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW)) for annual data up to 2016-17
- ChildStory – Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW)) for annual data from 2017-18.
