Child Protection National Minimum Data Set (CP NMDS)
The CP NMDS is an annual collection of information on child protection in Australia. It contains data on children who come into contact with State and Territory departments responsible for child protection. The CP NMDS consists of the following data files: client demographics; notifications, investigations, and substantiations; care and protection orders; living arrangements, including children in funded out-of-home care; carer households; data for reporting on National Out-of-Home Care Standards measures; and safety in care. Where possible, data are also collected on sibling relationships. The CP NMDS collection was implemented in 2012 and 2013.
