Yorganop Association Incorporated has provided out of home care placements for Aboriginal children in Western Australia since 1986.
Originally known as the Aboriginal Child Care Agency, Yorganop was established to provide placement services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the Perth metropolitan area, and also had responsibility for family tracing and youth work.
In 1994, Yorganop was funded to provide “recruitment, assessment and support for community and kinship carers for the Out of Home Placement of Aboriginal children, giving effect to the Aboriginal Child Placement Principles.”
Yorganop continues to provide foster care placement services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, and supports families to keep children connected to their family, community and on Country.
