This research has been undertaken in response to a related Government action in Keep Them Safe for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health to undertake a prevalence study to consider the health status of children already in Out of Home Care, what services they are receiving, and what further care they require.
Data from Australia and overseas, including studies from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, indicate that children and young people in Out of Home Care have significant health care needs involving physical, psychological, behavioural, emotional and developmental needs.​
