Outcomes Framework for Children and Young People

First Review of South Australia’s Outcomes Framework for Children and Young People

There are more than 369,000 children and young people under the age of 18 years living in South Australia – that’s 21% of our total population (2020).

Children and young people come from diverse backgrounds and cultures with many different circumstances:

• 4.9% are Aboriginal
• 1.12% are in out-of-home care
• 16.7% live with disability

It’s important for us to work together to enable children and young people to grow strong and to be happy, healthy and safe with opportunities for the future.

South Australia’s Outcomes Framework for Children and Young People can help us do that. The framework is there to guide organisations and to make things better for children and young people. By reporting data and facts we can all see where efforts are needed most to improve outcomes. It’s a useful tool and can help everyone work together and more effectively.

This is the first review of the framework.
