Stop Press



As our newsletter was about to go to print, we learnt that the long awaited Senate Inquiry into Children in Institutional or Out-of-Home Care had just been released. (A couple of items in this newsletter refer to the Inquiry).

The Inquiry, which was conducted by the Senate Community Affairs Standing Committee, received more than 600 submissions, many of which described the lasting consequences of harsh and abusive institutional practices in the past.

The report is entitled “Forgotten Australians” and includes 39 recommendations to support healing, provide redress and ensure a better future.

We will report more fully on the report and its recommendations in our next newsletter.
In the meantime, the report can be accessed via the web at www.aph.gov.au/senate_ca.
