The United Aborigines Mission, Halls Creek, was established in 1957. Until 1963, children at the mission were under the guardianship of the Commissioner of Native Welfare. The mission was closed in 1967.
The Western Australian government has agreed to be a funder of last resort for this institution. This means that although the institution is now defunct, it is participating in the National Redress Scheme, and the government has agreed to pay the institution’s share of costs of providing redress to a person (as long as the government is found to be equally responsible for the abuse a person experienced).
