Guide for use:

Code 7 'Not applicable' should be recorded if code 4 'Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin' is recorded for the Indigenous status of the child in the client file or the living arrangement is not a funded out-of-home care placement provided by a funded agency (for example, living with parents, independent living, other living arrangements).
