Access Conditions
Former residents (and their families) should contact the Uniting Heritage Service to find information, and access personal files. The Uniting Heritage Service is a free service that helps individuals access information about them or family members, as well as access appropriate support should they choose. Heritage Service staff prefer to release records to past residents or their family members in person, where possible, in order to give greater meaning and context to the information.
Records
These records comprise contextual and administrative records such as annual reports, minutes of meetings and newsletters.
Unfortunately, there are very few records relating to residents. In the past, Harrison Community Services had a practice of destroying client files after a period of 7 years and it would seem that the client files from Harrison House and Harrison Youth Services were destroyed as part of this practice. However, all client records relating to out-of-home care created after 2004 are retained indefinitely.
