National standards for out of home care

In March 2010 the Office of the Guardian provided a response to the Commonwealth Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs’ (FaHCSIA) consultation on national standards for out of home care.

A copy of the submission to FaHCSIA re OOHC National Standards is available as a PDF file.

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
