This Report sets out our draft decisions, recommendations and findings for our review of the cost of delivering out-of-home care and the pricing arrangements with non-government providers who deliver care under contract with the NSW Government.
The Draft Report proposes:
- a simplified approach to pricing outsourced care based on more accurate costings
- increased financial support for foster, relative and kinship carers who are vitally important to the success and sustainability of the system
- increased accountability across the system for essential medical care and connection with families, and improved visibility over key service areas.
We welcome submissions from all interested stakeholders. Submissions are open until 17 April 2025.
