Access Conditions
Documentation has been kept from 1940 onwards. However, information on residents in the early years is sparse. All past and present residents can have access to their files and the information therein. In cases where there are reports from professionals (eg psychologist), permission is first sought from the professional to release this information.
Persons wishing to view their file may need to establish their identity before access is granted. Once this is established, a mutually suitable time to view the material is made.
Records
The departments include the Department of Social Security and Centrelink. Correspondence includes submissions of claims and vouchers for payments made. Individual clients are identified in these records.
