Working with Aboriginal Children, Young People and Families

This topic discusses the history of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care (OOHC), the importance and processes of cultural planning, consultation, and family-led decision making.

Please see Family Is Culture Active Efforts factsheet and DCJ Family is Culture webpage for updated Placement Principles and permanency requirements. In decisions involving Aboriginal children we must apply the five elements of prevention, partnership, placement, participation and connection. PSP Learning Hub Factsheets developed prior to Family Is Culture legislation changes will be updated progressively.
