There is no evidence Northern Territory authorities are returning Indigenous children in foster care to abusive homes, says National Children's Commissioner Anne Hollonds.

In fact, almost 80 per cent of Indigenous children in the Territory who have been removed from their families are living in non-kinship care, Ms Hollands said.
