Background

Acknowledgement of Country

The Healing Foundation acknowledges Country, Custodians and Community of the lands on which we live and work. We also pay our respects to Elders and to Stolen Generations survivors, of the Dreaming and of the here and now. We recognise the ongoing nature of trauma experiences for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and commit each day to survivor-led intergenerational healing.

About Us

The Healing Foundation is a national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisation that provides a platform to amplify the voices and lived experience of Stolen Generations survivors and their families.

Working towards justice and healing

The Healing Foundation supports Stolen Generations survivors — the many thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people taken, as babies and children, from loving families, communities, culture and Country under previous government policies.

We work closely with Stolen Generations survivors, descendants and  organisations, as well as with governments, service providers and other stakeholders to address the priority needs of the Stolen Generations. 

These priorities, closely linked to the Bringing them home report recommendations, require an urgent and coordinated response from governments and not-for-profit organisations. They include:  

  • Trauma-informed health and aged care services  
  • Access to records that hold peoples' stories and identity
  • Equitable redress for survivors across all states and territories
  • Sustainable funding for the organisations that deliver on-the-ground support for survivors with records, family tracing and reunions and healing programs and services.

The Healing Foundation is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led: our work is guided by the wisdom and expertise of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Board, Stolen Generations Reference Group and Youth Reference Group.
