This Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Framework data demonstrates how we've tracked against our commitment to improving outcomes for Aboriginal Victorians. The Report includes historical data dating from 2008.

A range of data tables have been collated across ten different themes. These include Maternal and Early Childhood Health and Early Years; Education and Training; Economic Participation; Health; Housing and Disability; Child Protection; Family Violence; Justice; Native Title and Community Participation.

This dataset presents indicator 30.10: Proportion of Aboriginal children in out of home care who are placed in accordance with the Aboriginal Child Placement Principle. The data covers the financial years of 2008/09-2011/12 and is aggregated by Local Government Areas (LGA) from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). This dataset is part of the Victorian Department of Education and Training's Victorian Child and Adolescent Monitoring System (VCAMS) data release. This dataset is sourced from the Client Relationship Information System (CRIS). The VCAMS Framework comprises 150 indicators as agreed by the Children's Service Coordination Board. It incorporates 35 outcomes that relate to aspects of children's health, development, safety, learning and well-being in four categories - the child, families, community, and supports and services.

Where data values were "NDP" (no data provided) in the original data they have been set to null.

An assessment of progress is made by examining data from 2008 (or closest to) until the latest available data at the time of reporting, in 2019. The baseline year is 2008 as this was the year in which the National Indigenous Reform Agreement was established. The Report uses most recent available data and limitations are indicated where appropriate in the Report. Some data sets have different sampling approaches and time-series, particularly in the use of comparison data for non-Aboriginal people (or whole-of-population). In some instances, comparable non-Aboriginal or Victoria-wide data is not available to support group comparisons. In these instances, proxy data is used. For example, ABS data from Aboriginal-specific surveys such as the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Social Surveys are used to inform some indicators. The most comparable equivalent data for non-Aboriginal Victorians is the Victorian Population Health Survey which has a different sampling approach and time series. This approach, while liable to sampling bias, has been used by Victorian population health researchers and is methodologically sound. Aboriginal data has unique challenges. Small population sizes mean that there is a diminished ability to detect trends and changes for a given outcome (minimum detectable effect), and a greater degree of data volatility leading to large fluctuations between time points. This means there is a higher threshold for determining improvement at a statistically significant level compared to general population data. The Report identifies where trends are suggestive of improvement or deterioration but are compromised by data volatility or small numbers.

The data within this dashboard shows how we are performing against our objective to ensure Aboriginal people, families and communities have better outcomes by: • improving how we work with Aboriginal people to deliver responsive, culturally appropriate services tailored to community needs • improve access to affordable quality and culturally appropriate housing for Aboriginal people • reducing the number of Aboriginal people who are homeless.
