Ten grants awarded to Aboriginal led or partnered projects in 2023
FACSIAR has awarded ten research grants for Aboriginal led/partnered analysis projects to answer OOHC stakeholders’ priority policy and practice questions and build the evidence base to improve the outcomes for Aboriginal children and families. The projects will commence from July 2023 and be underway for 12-18 months.
The POCLS dataset is an open data asset and holds a wealth of data. For more information, please see the POCLS data asset and the DCJ funded projects or POCLS publications pages.

Roundtables
Pathways of Care Longitudinal Study (POCLS) roundtables were held in 2022 with researchers, the Advisory Group and the Evidence to Action Group. A panel of researchers summarised the key insights from recently completed analysis of the POCLS dataset to inform policy and practice to improve children’s experiences in out-of-home care and developmental outcomes. The focus of the roundtables were:
- Child development, wellbeing and children with a disability
- Cultural connections and family time
- Education and Youth Justice
- Casework and Support
- Permanency and Wellbeing Outcomes
