Description

The Find and Connect web resource is the online component of a nationwide program which includes support services that provide counselling & assistance to people who spent time in care as children between 1920 and 1980.

The Find & Connect web resource was developed by a team of historians, archivists and social workers from the University of Melbourne and Australian Catholic University, with funding from the Australian Government.

Abstract

It was developed as a response to the powerful and effective advocacy of people who spent time in out of home care prior to 1990, who continue to guide, collaborate, and provide essential information into this period of Australia's history.
