A worker is available to work with and support the Stolen Generation Community and their families. Our Worker's experience is very personal and stems from her own experience as well as that of her father as part of the system. This program is very passionate about raising awareness and acknowledging the impact of the Assimilation Policy. If you identify as a Stolen Generation member either directly or indirectly and have some ideas for activities or events, we will be grateful for your input.
