Today marks the 15 year anniversary of the Western Australian Government’s formal apology to those affected by past forced adoption practices - a painful chapter in our state's history that caused lifelong grief and trauma for many mothers, adopted people and families.

Ngala accepts responsibility for its role in the wrongful separation of children from their mothers while in our care from the 1940’s to the mid 1980’s. Ngala sincerely apologises for the organisation’s involvement in what we now recognise was an extremely damaging practice.

Ngala is committed to working alongside survivors to support their personal journey of healing and will seek input from survivors on appropriate acknowledgement of their experiences and actions that we need to take to assist them to move forward.

We invite you to read our apology here: https://www.ngala.com.au/about-ngala/our-apology/
