The Find & Connect web resource is funded by the Australian Government & administered by the University of Melbourne.
It was developed as a response to the powerful and effective advocacy of people who spent time in out of home care prior to 1990, who continue to guide, collaborate, and provide essential information into this period of Australia’s history.
