Submission – Anglicare Victoria

Anglicare Victoria outlines in its submission how facilities operated by its founding agencies included many children’s homes that accepted First Nations children who had been forcibly removed from their families and communities and were separated from kin, culture and Country. It acknowledges the extensive nature of forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their families across Victoria and Australia. It outlines its historic practices around historical records and its services today in responding to requests for files and records, as well as its work to be culturally safe in its current practices.
