THIS EMAIL DOES NOT GO TO ANY INSTITUTIONS OR RECORD HOLDERS. IT GOES TO FIND & CONNECT.

Find & Connect was developed to help people who were in out of home care between 1920 and 1990 understand more about their past and about the historical context of child welfare in Australia. We assist people who spent time in an orphanage or children’s home in Australia and their families.
