The Child Migrant Friendship Society (CMFS) was established around 1987 by a group of former residents of Catholic institutions, to advocate for people who had been sent as unaccompanied child migrants. Funding for CMFS operational expenses came from the Christian Brothers. CMFS operated in some form to at least 2001.

In his submission to the Child Migration inquiry in 2001 (p.29), Barry Coldrey said that the Child Migrant Friendship Society was 'largely superceded' by VOICES (Victims of Institutionalised Cruelty Exploitation and Supporters) in June 1991. However, the CMFS gave a submission (Submission No.44) to the Inquiry in 2001.
