Aboriginal young people leaving care in New South Wales face serious and enduring challenges as they transition into adulthood. This report examines the current housing landscape for Aboriginal young people exiting care, extended care arrangements and available financial entitlements across Australia, while identifying best practice initiatives within Australia and internationally.

This report explores early childhood experiences and the ways these experiences relate to later outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families. Knowing more about what helps children from their early years through to their teenage years means communities can feel stronger, and services can be better planned and supported.

This blueprint from the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Commissioner offers a practical, actionable path to develop a Children’s Plan for Queensland. A Children’s Plan will aim to improve life outcomes for all children and work across government to make children a central focus in decision-making.

This paper seeks to explore the nature and structure of accountability that will serve the rights, interests and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people, both within the child protection system, and more broadly. It presents two complementary accountability mechanisms for the New South Wales Government to address current shortcomings.

Across Australia, children as young as ten can be arrested, charged and detained under criminal law. This approach continues to disproportionately affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. This position paper argues that raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility is a necessary shift toward justice systems that respect community-led ways of caring for children.
