Description: | A set of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle (ATSICPP) indicators were developed in response to Action 1.3 of the fourth action plan of the National Framework for Protecting Australia Children (NFPAC) (DSS 2018). Under Action 1.3, state, territory and Australian government community services ministers endorsed the development of a nationally consistent approach to measuring and reporting on the application of the five elements of the ATSICPP – prevention, partnership, placement, participation and connection (AIHW 2021b) |

National reporting arrangement: | The data used for the ATSICPP indicators are sourced from the 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20 and 2020–21 unit record snapshots of the Child Protection National Minimum Data Set (CP NMDS), which includes child protection data submitted by all jurisdictions except New South Wales. Aggregate data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s Child Protection Data Collection was provided where unit record data was not available. Aggregate data were used for all indicators for New South Wales (where available), for Indicators 1.1 and 2.1 for the Northern Territory and for Indicator 2.2 for South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory in selected report periods. Data for the CP NMDS are extracted each year from the administrative systems of the state and territory departments responsible for the child protection in Australia. These data, along with any aggregate data, are provided after the end of each financial year. Data are extracted according to definitions and technical specifications agreed to by the departments and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Data extracted from the CP NMDS represent a 'snapshot' of the data at the time of extraction and may not include retrospective updates made to data held by the state/territory departments. Furthermore, data produced from the CP NMDS is based on nationally agreed specifications and may not match state and territory figures published elsewhere or be comparable with data for previous years Detailed Data Quality Statements for each snapshot of the CP NMDS can be found online: | ||||||||||||
