Link-Up Victoria supports Stolen Generations survivors and their families. Link-Up focuses on healing by helping our people to reclaim their Aboriginal identity and to connect to family and learn about their traditional culture and Country. Link-Up runs group activities and events, and produces resources to promote the stories of the Stolen Generations.
Who is it for?
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were adopted or fostered, who live in Victoria or Tasmania.
- Aboriginal people looking for family who were adopted or fostered.
How it works
- Accessing records: We assist our people to apply for adoption and fostering records and other documents about their own or family members’ removal.
- Official documents: We apply for birth, death, and marriage certificates plus can locate historical records, including photographs and other documents about family connections.
- Health and Wellbeing plans: We work with clients to create a safety plan so that we can fully support you.
- Family and culture: We undertake Aboriginal family research to locate family both living and passed to strengthen knowledge about Aboriginal connections and to inform reunions.
- Reunions: We conduct reunions on traditional country of Stolen Generations survivors that provide powerful healing.
