29 years ago on 26 May, the Bringing them home report shared the Stolen Generations history with the nation and made wide-ranging recommendations to address the enormous harm caused to Stolen Generations survivors and their families.

A generation on, many of these crucial actions have not been taken. We have lost many survivors over these decades, and time is running out for those who are left to see justice.

The theme for this year’s National Sorry Day is From Sorry to Action. The call is clear, we must move from words to action, and this needs to happen now, not in another decade.

Acknowledging past harm is important, but acting to address it is critical. Sorry signals compassion; action delivers justice.

We owe it to the survivors who are left – and the families of survivors who have passed – to take swift, meaningful action to address past wrongs and honour the memory of all who gave evidence to the inquiry.

The urgency of acting now, to support elderly survivors in their last years and decades, cannot be overstated.

Survivors need:
• culturally safe and affordable aged care, health and healing services
• prioritised access to the records that hold their histories and stories, and
• access to redress, regardless of the state or territory they were removed from.

Today is Are You Safe at Home? Day.

It’s an opportunity to ask someone in your life, ‘are you safe at home?’ This year, start a conversation to end family violence.

MDLC is always looking to bring new courses to our local community.

If you have a specialty, hobby, or workshop you’d love to share or an idea for a fresh, exciting program we’d love to hear from you!

Please contact our friendly staff at 9758 7895 or [email protected] to get involved. 🥰😀

Anyone can experience family violence. And anyone can help end it. You don’t need to be an expert. This May, start the conversation.
