Following the November 2009 apology by the Prime Minister to Forgotten Australians and former child migrants, in May 2010 the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin MP, announced funding of $26.5 million over four years for a Find and Connect Service.
The findings of the Encompass Family and Community Pty Ltd independent scoping study for the new Find and Connect service are available.
