Preparing a Victorian Residential Out-of-Home Care Service?
Youth Work Ready is designed specifically for organisations preparing to establish or strengthen residential out-of-home care services for children in Victoria.
Why Residential Care Needs a Strong Operating Framework
A home is a continuous care environment. Workers, rosters, safeguarding, incidents, records and oversight all need to work consistently, every day, from the moment the first child arrives.
The house is the care environment. The systems around it are what make the operation work.
What the Framework Helps You Prepare
More than 190 documents and 2,400+ pages of material across eight printed volumes, supported by 12 months of digital implementation access, 12 months of framework updates and 4 hours of structured live support.

Purchasing does not authorise you to provide care
Purchasing Youth Work Ready does not authorise an organisation to provide Residential Care.
The purchaser remains responsible for registration, approvals, commissioning, service agreements, property requirements, workforce requirements, professional advice, training, insurance, regulatory requirements and all other approvals required before commencing services.
Youth Work Ready provides templates, implementation resources and structured support. Purchasing the framework does not grant approval or authority to provide residential care and does not guarantee registration, funding, commissioning, placements or any other government or commercial outcome.
The purchaser remains responsible for adapting and adopting the materials and obtaining all required independent professional advice and approvals before commencing services.
Residential care organisations may also incur separate property, fire-safety, insurance, professional, regulatory and operational costs. These are not included in the package.
