Indigenous children at the moment are 10 times more likely to be living out of home right now, Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said on the ABC's Q&A.
Experts contacted by Fact Check said children "living out of home" could be in informal or formal care. They said there are no statistics available for children in informal care, where the carer is not paid by government. The report and the experts consulted by Fact Check said the number of Indigenous children in out-of-home care may have been undercounted. Two experts said the margin would probably be small and one said it is unknown.
