Our History
Link-Up Victoria is funded by the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) via the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
Link-Up Victoria was expanded in 1998 as a response to the Bringing Them Home Report (BTH) recommendation (30A & 30B) to address the specific needs of the large numbers of Indigenous people presenting to Aboriginal services who were the victims of past government policies and practices. These policies saw a large scale removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and communities, often referred to as the Stolen Generations.We assist Indigenous people over the age of eighteen, who were adopted, placed in foster care, institutionalized or forcibly removed, to trace and be reunited with their families. The service is confidential, sensitive and culturally appropriate.
Link-Up Victoria will not be able to assist with:
- Searching for missing persons that you have not seen for a while
- Proof of Aboriginality
- Genealogy
