Abstract
Historically, an experience of out-of-home care (OOHC) and the associated limited support services for those transitioning from OOHC at 18 years or younger has created for many care leavers in Australia a pathway to long-term poverty and hardship as evidenced by reports (based on large data sets) of close links between leaving care (particularly residential group home care),long-term reliance on social security payments, and homeless service use (AIHW 2021; AIHW 2022, 2023).
