The Apology acknowledged that the previous Queensland government apology to those who had been harmed while in church- or state-run children's institutions, did not extend to those who had been placed in adult mental heath institutions.
The Apology was issued by Paul Lucas, Deputy Premier and Minister for Health, and Karen Struthers, Minister for Community Services and Housing and Minister for Women.
The Apology also noted that formal reconciliation was important in healing the hurt suffered, and undertook to plan a reconciliation process in consultation with those who had been harmed while under the care and protection of the state.
