Stolen Generations
Stolen Generations

The Stolen Generations are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed as children from their families and communities through race-based policies set up by both State and Federal Governments from 1910 to the 1970s.

Intergenerational trauma

If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from past trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others. Their children may experience difficulties with attachment, disconnection from their extended families and culture and high levels of stress from family and community members who are dealing with the impacts of trauma.

We work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healing leadership, survivors, youth, therapists and academics to harness knowledge and co-design projects that combine ancient Indigenous healing knowledge with Western trauma knowledge.

Community Healing
Community Healing

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, healing is a holistic process, which addresses mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs and involves connections to culture, family and land. Healing works best when solutions are culturally strong, developed and driven at the local level, and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Collective Healing Grants

Round 10 of the Collective Healing Grants: Expressions of Interest are now in process, and we extend our gratitude to all the organisations that submitted Expressions of Interest.

These grants support initiatives that promote healing, strengthen community connections, and enhance wellbeing for Stolen Generation survivors and their communities.

We appreciate the dedication and commitment of organisations working to create lasting positive change.

For those who missed this round or are planning future projects, we encourage you to register your interest for Round 11.

Expressions of Interest (EOIs) will open in late 2025, providing another opportunity to access funding for community-driven healing initiatives.
