Vision Statement

Link-Up (QLD) Aboriginal Corporation exists to enhance the life of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by reuniting those over the age of eighteen years who have experienced enforced separation from their families and communities through adoption, fostering, removal and institutionalisation.

We will provide our service in a sensitive, confidential and culturally appropriate manner and use all available resources to assist those looking to find their family of origin.

 

Financial Reports

The principle activity of the association during a financial year is:

The reuniting of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over the age of 18 who have been separated from their families and communities through adoption, fostering, removal or institutionalisation.

The association is considered financially and operationally viable, with a substantial increase in the number of clients being serviced and the number of reunions being achieved. Operational funding has increased by $122,779 or 14.7% in the past year and is being used, in part, to establish a network of serviced offices in the rgions and remote areas of Queensland for inproved service delivery.

Link-Up staff have received increased levels of training and education in the improvement of client services; their high level performance and assistance to clients is greatly appreciated.
