Correspondence from Wards of the State

The Committee also received 102 letters stating inter alia:

I want the Senate Committee members to understand that there are also Australian children, who, for a variety of reasons, were made Wards of the State in various parts of the country. As a flow-on from this, they too ended up in various institutions that were run either by a charity, a religious organisation or by a government agency. Others were children who were placed directly into the ‘care’ of a charity or religious organisation by a parent or other responsible person.

Some of these people were in the same institutions as the Child Migrants and many suffered the same treatment in these and other institutions. These people number in the thousands, their stories have never been told and some can barely read or write!

I realise that the Terms of Reference for the present Inquiry will not provide any opportunity for these Australians to tell their stories also, and to put their case to the Australian Parliament in respect of help, access to services, finding parents and siblings etc. However I hope that Senate Committee members realise that these people exist and that they too must be given the chance to tell their stories and to explain their situations.
