AFA

The Alliance for Forgotten Australians aims to promote recognition for people who experienced institutional or other out-of-home care as children and young people. The organisation takes its name from the 2004 Forgotten Australians Senate Report.


Colebrook Blackwood Reconciliation Park (SA)

Colebrook Home was a children's institution in South Australia for Aboriginal children. Colebrook Reconciliation Park, at one of the institution's former sites, is a memorial to the children and families who were separated through sending children to Colebrook Home. Two statues - “the Fountain of Tears” and the “Grieving Mother” - have been created and installed there.


Bringing Them Home Report

A critically important text that paved the way for recognition of the Stolen Generations - the thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children removed from their families over generations of colonisation in Australia. It was written by the Australian Human Rights Commission as the Final Report of the “National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families”, which was the culmination of many years of advocacy by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander activists and survivors.
