The package is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were removed from their families in Victoria before 31 December 1976, and who were separated from their families for a period of time resulting in the loss of family, community, culture, identity and language.
If found to be eligible, applicants can receive a lump sum payment of $100,000 and choose to receive other non-financial supports, including an apology from the Victorian government, access to healing services and access to records.
It was announced that the package would operate for 5 years, and the closing date for applications is 31 March 2027. The package is administered by the Department of Justice.
