Bringing them home: The 'Stolen Children' report
Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC)
Bringing Them Home is one of Australia's most important documents. The National
Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children
from Their Families was established in May 1995 in response to efforts made by
key Indigenous agencies and communities. They were concerned that the general
public's ignorance of the history of forcible removal was hindering the
recognition of the needs of its victims and their families and the provision of
services.
Public evidence was taken from Indigenous organisations and individuals, state
and territory government representatives, church representatives, other
non-government agencies, former mission and government employees and individual
members of the community. Confidential evidence was taken in private from
Indigenous people affected by forcible and from adoptive and foster parents.
Many people and organisations made written submissions to the Inquiry, including
many who also gave oral evidence.
