How can we help you? (required)(Required)

THIS EMAIL DOES NOT GO TO ANY INSTITUTIONS OR RECORD HOLDERS. IT GOES TO FIND & CONNECT.

Find & Connect was developed to help people who were in out of home care between 1920 and 1990 understand more about their past and about the historical context of child welfare in Australia. We assist people who spent time in an orphanage or children’s home in Australia and their families.

If you are trying to contact an organisation, try the 'More info' or 'Records' tab

To contact a Forced Adoption Support Service in your state or territory call 1800 21 03 13, or email the support service in your state.

If you are searching for a family member and were not in care, or are not a direct family member of a person who was in care, you can try our Finding Family section.

Unfortunately we cannot assist with your family history research. You may find our Family History page useful.
