The WA Stolen Generations Redress Scheme is provided by the WA Government to recognise the enduring impacts of past child removal policies in Western Australia.
This Scheme is available to Aboriginal people who were removed from their families as children in Western Australia before 1 July 1972.
Eligible applicants will receive a payment of $85,000, and, if they wish, a personal acknowledgement.
You can apply if:
- you are an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person;
- you were removed from your family when you were under 18 years old;
- you were removed in Western Australia before 1 July 1972; and
- are a living person.
You can also apply on behalf of a family member who passed away on or after 27 May 2025, the date the Scheme was announced.
Tuart Place can assist Stolen Generations survivors and their families to understand the Scheme, check eligibility, and complete an application. We can also help gather supporting information and provide culturally safe, trauma-informed support throughout the process.
