The change in name to Form K reflects the national policy reform agenda and a growing awareness of the complexity and far-reaching nature of kinship care. The new assessment form will focus on the relationship between the kinship carer and the child, drawing out strengths and highlighting support needs. The form will be more concise but enable robust analysis.
This form will be piloted in 2024 and the plan is to publish the form by the end of 2024.
