The Find & Connect Support Service Western Australia ('Lanterns House') was established in February, 2013. It is part of the national network of Find & Connect Support Services, funded by the Australian government following the Apology to Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants in 2009. Find & Connect Lanterns provides services to Australian-born Forgotten Children and Former Child Migrants who spent time in foster homes, orphanages, children's homes or other 'care' institutions in Western Australia during the twentieth century.
