    Targeted Care Packages

    21 May 2015

    DHHS have provided advice about a new initiative of the Victorian Government known as "Targeted Care Packages". Currently in Victoria around 500 children and young people who have been removed from the care of their parents due to abuse or neglect live in a form of care known as residential care. For some of these children, their needs would be better met in another form of care - such as foster or kinship care.
