According to this article from Guardian Australia, the government of New South Wales, Australia has moved to reduce the number of children in out of home care, with a particular focus on reducing the number of Aboriginal children placed into care. The Department of Family and Community Services (Facs) has invested in two early intervention programs "to help families before they reach breaking point." "Based on partial year data extracted on 5 June, 886 fewer children were taken into care compared with last year. But Aboriginal children are a higher percentage of the intake. For this year, 38.4% of children taken into care were Aboriginal, and for the previous year the figure stood at 36.3%."
