The update clarifies the care team convenor is responsible for documenting minutes and ensuring the responsibilities and actions of the care team are allocated to specific members of the care team (including themselves where appropriate), and this is to be reflected in the recorded actions. This includes documenting responsibility for tasks, associated timelines and case progress.
Where a Community Service Organisation (CSO) or an Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisation (ACCO) is providing the placement or kinship care case contracting the care, the team convenor is the CSO or ACCO staff member. Where the placement is provided by the department and the kinship placement is not receiving contracted case management, Child Protection is the care team convenor.
