This second Unfinished Business Progress Report outlines the significant progress that has been made to deliver reparations to the Stolen Generations from June 2018 to December 2020. It also reflects on the government’s approach to working with Survivors.

Actions have now commenced across all Unfinished Business commitments, with Survivors guiding the NSW Government to better understand their perspectives and expectations in relation to the more complex commitments.

This report was prepared by the NSW Government in consultation with NSW Stolen Generations Organisations (Stolen Generations Organisations) represented on the Stolen Generations Advisory Committee (the Advisory Committee). The report follows the structure of the first report, and outlines progress against the themes adopted in the NSW Government response to Unfinished Business:

• Recognition (Acknowledgement and Apology)
• Monetary Reparations
• Collective Healing
• Tailored Supports
• Guarding Against Repetition
• Cultural Renewal

The views of Survivors are embedded in this report, guiding government on areas to focus upon in the coming years. The report sets out the next steps that the NSW Government intends to take to progress reparations for Stolen Generations Survivors. The status of each Unfinished Business commitment made by the NSW Government is provided at Appendix 1 to ensure maximum transparency and accountability.
