The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle indicators

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Placement Principle (ATSICPP) indicators assess progress towards implementing the ATSICPP. Implementation of the ATSICPP by states and territories is designed to reduce the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the child protection and out-of-home care systems. It also aims to keep Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children connected to their family, community, culture and country. At the core of the ATSICPP are the 5 elements of Prevention, Partnership, Placement, Participation and Connection.

The ATSICPP indicators measure progress towards implementing the ATSICPP in child protection and out-of-home care systems and are grouped under each of the 5 core ATSICPP elements. The indicators presented in this report relate to the ATSICPP elements of Placement and Connection, and the reporting scope is limited to children living in out-of-home care.
