A Way Back Home

Following on from the British Inquiry into Child Migration, the British Government has announced the establishment of a £1 million fund to assist former Child Migrants to re-establish contact with close family in Britain.

To qualify for assistance from the fund, former child migrants will have to be able to show that they have traced a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, or uncle) and that they wish to reunite for the first time, but cannot meet the costs of travel to Britain. All inquiries must be addressed to the International Social Service of the UK (Australian contacts are listed below).

For all those applicants OTHER THAN those in NSW: ISS Australian Branch Level 2, 313-315 Flinders Lane Melbourne VIC 3000 Phone: 03 9614 8755 Canberra Contact: Peter Fuller Phone: 02 6270 6658

For NSW applicants ONLY: ISS Australia Regional Office NSW Suite 33, Level 3 104 Bathurst Street Sydney, NSW 2000 NSW Contact: Bob Swift Phone: 02 8247 2218

C-BERS Services continues to provide funding for travel to the United Kingdom and Malta for former Child Migrants who were resident at Christian Brother's child care homes and who wish to make contact with their family, or country of birth.
