Foster and Kinship Assessment
One Future has degree-qualified, independent assessors ready to complete foster and kinship care assessments, both provisional and full authorisation. Our staff are Step-by-Step trained in order to meet agency requirements as needed. We can offer Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal assessors and are able to undertake face-to-face and virtual assessments.
Guardianship Assessment
Guardianship orders are a way of helping ensure a child has a stable, nurturing and safe home, and achieving permanency. Guardianship assessments are undertaken to ensure the suitability of the carers to meet the needs of the child/young person. Our reports are submitted to the Children's Court to guide the Court's decision about whether a guardianship order is the best option to meet the needs of the child.
Parenting Capacity Assessment
Parenting capacity assessments are specialised assessments to assess the parent's capacity to care for a child and focus on identifying strengths and risks in relation to the six dimensions of parenting as well as taking into account the impact of wider factors on parenting and the child's development. Our assessors are highly skilled and work closely with agencies to support permanency planning and restoration.
Best Interest Placement Assessment
Best interest placement assessments can be undertaken to help decision-making when a child or young person is in care and requires an independent assessment to determine what placement is in a child's best interest. These assessments are often complex and involve working with multiple parties to complete. As with all our assessments, the focus is on the child; their safety and wellbeing.
Family Time Review Assessment
Family time review assessments are undertaken by our independent assessors to inform family time planning and make recommendations around frequency, length and type of contact. Family time reviews involve consulting with family and the child/young person and consider a child's age, development, culture, quality/nature of relationship with a parent/sibling and safety in making any decision.
Individual Needs Assessment
Individual needs assessments focus on an individual child/young person's needs across their childhood to ensure any decisions made in relation to where they are living, who they are living with or family contact are based on thorough, informed assessments which take into account the child/young person's safety, wellbeing, culture, age, family and identify strengths as well as risks that need to be addressed.

IndependEnt Assessment FAQ
IndependEnt Assessment FAQ
A Foster Care Assessment is a process that is used to evaluate the suitability of a prospective foster parent or family to provide care for a child who has been removed from their birth family due to abuse, neglect, or other issues. The assessment is conducted by a One Future Consultant includes interviews with the prospective foster parent(s), background checks, and a home study. The home study involves an evaluation of the foster home environment, including the physical living conditions and the emotional and social support available to the child. The purpose of the Foster Care Assessment is to ensure that the prospective foster parent(s) are able to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child and that the child's needs will be met while in foster care. The assessment also aims to identify any potential risks or challenges that may arise during the placement and to develop a plan to address these issues.
