This report details a component of the UNSW national Long-term Outcomes of Forgotten Australians Study reported in No child should grow up like this which explored the in-care and after-care experiences of adults who spent their childhoods in institutions and foster care during the period 1930 to 1989. The research adopts an inclusive approach eliciting the experiences and perceptions of all individuals, who as children, were separated from parents and taken into alternative care. In this report, the focus is on Stolen Generations survivors and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals who participated in the research. Stolen Generations survivors are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were removed from family under policies that drove the forcible removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from the late 1800s to the 1970s (Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission [HREOC] 1997).
