Up to 500,000 Australian-born children in the 20th Century, including some of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, were placed in “care” or became “state wards” for different reasons.

Hear lived experiences, develop an understanding of who are the Forgotten Australians, Former Child Migrants, Stolen Generations
