Computation description:Help on this term
  • Each child is only counted once.
  • Only children in out-of-home care at 30 June are counted.
  • Age is calculated as at 30 June.
  • The denominator includes all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were in out-of-home care at 30 June and were also required by jurisdictional policy or legislation to have a current, documented and approved cultural support plan on the night of 30 June (as per specifications at Child—cultural support plan required indicator, yes/no/not applicable/not stated/inadequately described code N).
  • Time in out-of-home care is calculated as time, at 30 June, from the beginning of the child’s latest continuous out-of-home care episode. This is not necessarily the child’s first entry to out-of-home care. Any out-of-home care placement beginning less than 60 days from the end of a prior placement is treated as a continuation the child’s out-of-home care episode.

Comparability with similar reporting

This indicator has been derived using a similar approach to that used for the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children Indicator (NFPAC) 5.4 and National Out-of-Home Care Standards (NOOHCS) Indicator 10.1 (AIHW 2022b), both of which also report on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged 0–17 in out-of-home care who have cultural support plans. ATSICPP Indicator 2.2, however, is different to these indicators in the following ways:

  • Scope: ATSICPP Indicator 2.2 is limited to children in out-of-home care, whereas the NFPAC and NOOHCS indicators have a broader scope that includes children in specialist homelessness services, disability facilities, juvenile detention and self-placed or homeless children.
  • Disaggregations: ATSICPP Indicator 2.2 is disaggregated by state or territory and time in out-of-home care. The NFPAC and NOOHCS indicators are reported at the national level only.

Time in out-of-home care

For this indicator, the ‘time in out-of-home care’ disaggregation provides a measure of how many children who have been in out-of-home care for different amounts of time have current documented and approved cultural support plans.

The disaggregation does not indicate how long it has taken from a child’s entry to out-of-home care to approve their cultural support plan—it is not possible to determine the date of approval of cultural support plans with available data.
