Frequently Asked Questions
Out of Home Care provides a safe and supportive living environment for children and young people under 18 who cannot live at home due to various circumstances. It ensures their well-being, education, and personal development in a nurturing setting.
Children and young people under 18 who are unable to remain in their family home, often due to safety or welfare concerns, are eligible. This care is provided in collaboration with the Department of Families, Fairness, and Housing (DFFH) and the NDIS.
OOHC offers a range of supports including daily care, emotional support, educational assistance, skill development, and access to therapeutic services. Our goal is to provide a stable and secure environment that promotes the child’s overall well-being.
The length of stay in OOHC varies based on the individual situation. Some children may be placed temporarily, while others may stay long-term until they can return home or transition to another permanent care arrangement.
Care is provided by trained staff and carers who are experienced in supporting children and young people. They ensure a nurturing, safe, and structured environment to support each child’s growth and development.
Families remain involved in their child’s life as much as possible. Depending on the situation, family reunification is often a goal, and we work closely with families to support this process.
We carefully consider the child’s individual needs, preferences, and background to ensure they are placed in the most suitable and supportive environment.
Yes, education is a key part of OOHC. We work to ensure that children in care continue their schooling, receive support with their studies, and have access to educational resources.
OOHC includes various types of care, such as residential care, where children live in small group homes with trained staff. Foster care involves children being placed with a family. Both are forms of OOHC but differ in the living arrangements and types of care provided.
When a young person turns 18, we work with them to plan their transition into adulthood, which may include pathways to independent living, further education, employment, or accessing other support services through the NDIS.
