Aboriginal,Child Protection,Out-Of-Home Care

Two major Aboriginal organizations in NSW are calling for an audit of out-of-home care providers after a court case revealed that a faith-based service refused to assess an Aboriginal kinship carer due to her same-sex relationship. They claim racism is prevalent in the child protection system and that measures to reduce the number of Aboriginal children in care will fail without sector overhaul.

Two of the biggest Aboriginal groups in NSW claim racism is ‘rife’ in the child protection system, which needs an overhaul. The call comes as two of the biggest Aboriginal organisations in NSW claim racism in the child protection system is “rife” and closing the gap measures to reduce the number of Aboriginal children taken into care will fail unless the Minns government overhauls the sector.
