Description
'Finding Records' was published by the Department of Health and Human Services in 2016. It is an online resource with more than 200 guides, describing the Department's records relating to child protection, youth justice, disability services and mental health services.

The Finding Records website has the most comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date information about Victorian government records relating to Care Leavers. Finding Records contains much more information about Victorian government records than the Find & Connect web resource (this website). We recommend that users interested in records of a particular institution search for its collection guide on Finding Records.

We are currently updating the Find & Connect web resource's content about Victorian government records, in light of the new information published on the Finding Records website.
