Episode Details

Queenslands child safety system is in crisis, with residential care costs soaring to $1 billion annually. The latest inquiry reveals an over-reliance on this setup, with 2,088 kids in care statewide, compared to 2,767 across the rest of Australia. Costs per child have surged to $500,000 per year, with half a billion spent on unlicensed providers handling 750 kids. KPMG is now tasked with identifying demand drivers, and senior officials will testify on the unlicensed mess threatening the system. The inquiry aims to provide recommendations by May for the Crisafulli government to shift focus back to real support and improve kid outcomes.
