'Are you waiting for us to die?' The unfinished business of Bringing Them Home
This report has found only 6% of the Bringing Them Home report recommendations – made to support Stolen Generations survivors and their families almost 28 years ago – have been clearly implemented.
The report combines commissioned analysis of the Bringing them home report recommendations as well as insights from many years of consultation with Stolen Generations survivors and organisations on their needs and priorities.
It recommends a National Healing Package of priority changes to enable remaining elderly survivors to live out their days with dignity.
The report offers practical policy solutions to some of the big challenges facing survivors and their families, including:
- access to culturally safe, trauma informed aged care and health services
- urgent equitable redress
- prioritised access to records, and
- investment in Stolen Generation Organisations.
