Link-Up (Qld) has been actively advocating for Stolen Generations survivors since its establishment in 1984.
Our service works to enhance the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were forcibly removed from their families as children or were affected by forcible removal policies.
Our work is integral to helping right the wrongs of the past by assisting our Stolen Generations survivors and descendants to reconnect with their identities, spirit and communities through family history research and active reunification with family, country and culture.
We work with elders, mums, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles, sisters and brothers to reverse the cycle of intergenerational trauma and restore community health, resilience and wellbeing.

In 1984, we began our work to address the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who felt they were victims of a society that dominated them, leaving them with no control and attempting to erase their identity.
Increased attention was brought to these issues following the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which found that many of the deaths investigated were of people who had been separated from their families and communities due to the actions of past government policies and practices.
The 1997 Bringing Them Home report confirmed the devastating effects that the removal of children has had on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, communities, and cultures.
Backed by the findings of these reports, Link-Up (Qld) has continued – and will continue – to reunite families and communities so that healing can take place.
