Bringing Them Home REPORT
Bringing them home: report of the national inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families (1997)
Conducted by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (now the Australian Human Rights Commission), it was the first government inquiry that documented the experiences of Stolen Generations survivors and the impacts of their forced removals.
For Stolen Generations Survivors and their families, the role of truth-telling was one of the most important outcomes of the inquiry. Bringing them home continues to play a significant role in raising national awareness of this aspect of Australian history, and ongoing calls for recognition, justice, and reconciliation.
