To apply for a care service licence an organisation must be:
- incorporated
- delivering child protection placement services funded by the agency (i.e., the organisation currently provides placements to children or young people who are in the custody or guardianship of the agency).
- deemed to be in-scope of licensing
- certified under the Human Services Quality Framework for the delivery of child protection placement services.
When these criteria have been met, the agency will invite the organisation to apply for a care service licence.
