The Elim Maternity Hospital List of Babies Adopted dates from 1971 to 1973. It includes the adoptive parents' name, address, baby's name, date of birth, and date of placement.
Access to personal information in these records is subject to conditions to protect the privacy of individuals. Care Leavers wishing to access these records should contact the Adoptions and Permanency Services.
In 2020, the whereabouts of these records are not clear and research is being conducted to clarify the situation. In 2014, Find & Connect was advised that the records were with DHHS and were in the process of being transferred to the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office. However, in 2020 Find & Connect was advised that these records were not in the collection of the Tasmanian Archives. The location of these records is currently unknown. This website will be updated with accurate and up-to-date information about these records as soon as it is available.
