Aunty Patricia Thompson AM, Link-Up Qld CEO, talking about Queensland Stolen Generations Awareness β Link-Up (Qld) launch βStill Bringing Them Homeβ campaign. Link-Up (Qld) is raising awareness of the lasting impacts of past government policies that forcibly removed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families (now known as the Stolen Generations). Our small nonprofit team advocates for survivors and their families while providing practical healing services across the state. Despite the well-documented harm caused, Queensland remains the only jurisdiction yet to establish a dedicated Stolen Generations redress scheme. Many survivors are now elderly and deserve to spend their remaining years with dignity and support. The βStill Bringing Them Homeβ campaign is an initiative of Link-Up (Qld), created to help Queenslanders understand why supporting Stolen Generations survivors and descendants matters to us all.
