Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the
