Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) young people leaving out-of-home care in Australia: A national scoping study. Mendes, P., Standfield, R., Saunders, B., McCurdy, S., Walsh, J., & Turnbull, L. Children and Youth Services Review, 121:105848, 2021. ![Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) young people leaving out-of-home care in Australia: A national scoping study [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Indigenous children (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in Australia) are known to be over-represented in many out-of-home care systems, particularly within the English-speaking world. But, to date, there has been little analysis of their specific experiences and pathways as they transition from care at 18 years of age and younger. This study, based on focus groups and interviews with 53 representatives of government departments, non-government organisations and Aboriginal community-controlled organisations across Australia, examined the numbers of Indigenous care leavers, their needs and outcomes, and associated policy and programs. Our project recommended a number of key policy and practice reforms pertaining to data collection, funding, and the provision of culturally appropriate services.
