We are here to listen, hear, believe and acknowledge your experiences. To raise awareness about the abuse, neglect and trauma we suffered and the ongoing consequences of our past treatment. To advocate and campaign for justice and redress for all Care Leavers. To advocate for an independent redress scheme that all implicated.
Did you grow up in an orphanage or institution?
Did you or your parents grow up in a Home?
Were you a State Ward child?
Were you a foster child?
We offer a range of free services, assistance and advocacy to all Care Leavers, and CLAN members.
Redress is for Care Leavers who were sexually used in Orphanages, Children’s Homes, Missions, and Foster Care. Sadly physical, psychological and emotional abuse, child labour in laundries, farms and in orphanages are not covered by this Redress scheme. However, CLAN has always advocated for all forms of abuse and neglect to be acknowledged and those Care Leavers are equally deserving of Redress.
We are here to support and assist you in filling out your Redress application form. You can also call 1800 008 774 for further assistance.
@CLAN_AU Why did the boys need to rehabilitated when their only crime was to come from broken families or they were orphans? I wonder also how much pork, lamb, eggs & chicken they actually ate? My guess is “ bugger all” but I bet the staff ate exceptionally well.
@CLAN_AU what a great find! and yep, unpaid labour never sounded so good
Finally, the Royal Commission's report into the Catholic Church's handling of pedophile Father John Farrell is publicly released. Devastating. I recommend the section on Fr Brian Lucas and the alleged Church coverup exposed by @4corners in 2012. https://twitter.com/Peter_Fox59/status/1424635822771294210

The final withheld Child Abuse Royal Commission case study into Catholic Dioceses of Armidale & Parramatta went relatively unnoticed since its release 2 weeks ago after being originally covered by @4corners in 2012

@CLAN_AU Was it as rosy as it was portrayed? I doubt it somehow.
@CLAN_AU Well that was a proper gander film free labour and forced religion on kids
