The Alliance for Forgotten Australians (AFA) was established in 2006 in response to the 'Forgotten Australians' report. It is a national group of organisations and individuals from across Australia that promotes the interests of the estimated 500,000 people who experienced institutional or other out-of-home care as children in the last century and who suffered physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse: the Forgotten Australians.
