The Stolen Generations era is a sorrowful and shameful part of our history, and the impacts continue to be felt across families and communities.

It's why earlier this year, our Government announced a redress scheme for members of the Stolen Generations in Western Australia.

The scheme recognises the profound harm caused when Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their families - creating cycles of disadvantage and deep intergenerational trauma.

Today, I’ve announced that the WA Stolen Generations Redress Scheme is now open for applications.

While it will not bring families back together or give back the time that was lost, it stands as an acknowledgement to victims of the Stolen Generations: we are deeply sorry for what you endured.

And we remain committed to walking together on the ongoing journey towards healing and reconciliation.
