Notes:	Intensive support to address complex needs, family breakdown and multiple stressors for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families is critical to improving the wellbeing, development and future life experience of children. Increasing rates of substantiated child abuse and neglect indicate a worsening reality (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare [AIHW], 2012). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are already 10 times more likely to be in out-of-home care than non-Indigenous children (AIHW, 2012). High renotification and re-substantiation rates indicate complex and chronic family needs at the intersection of child protection concerns including: "domestic and family violence; parental mental health problems; family homelessness and precarious housing; and parental drug and alcohol problems."
