Together, we worked to create the foundation to which healing is now known in government, in policy and in Aboriginal communities. Together we can do much more.

Today, Dr Kira-Dhan Ken Zulumovski and the Gamarada team acknowledge National Sorry Day — honouring the strength, resilience, and ongoing self-determination of Stolen Generations survivors and their families.

As we mark 29 years since the Bringing them home report, we stand with The Healing Foundation in calling for action, accountability, justice, and healing within survivors’ lifetimes.

We encourage all Australians to learn the truth of our shared history and support the call: From Sorry to Action.

Statement from Gamarada Camp

Gamarada Camp stands in deep sorrow and quiet reflection following the loss of this young child on Country in the Northern Territory.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, her kin, and her wider community. We acknowledge the deep cultural pain carried at this time, and we honour the child’s spirit as she returns to the Ancestors.

This is a time for sorry business a time to hold each other close, to listen, and to walk gently with respect for culture, lore, and community.

We ask all people to show care in their words and actions, to allow space for grieving, and to uphold the dignity of those affected. May her spirit be held strong in the Dreaming, and may her family be wrapped in the strength of community.

Background - There is substantial diversity in patterns of intergenerational maltreatment within families.
Objective - To characterise familial patterns of child protection contacts across generations among a representative population sample of Australian children.

- Participants and setting. Participants were 75,784 Australian children (followed from birth to age ~18 years) and their parents from the New South Wales Child Development Study.

- Methods
Child protection (CP) data (child: 2001–2021; parents: 1971–2021) were used to categorise family members into four subpopulations according to intergenerational patterns of contact with the CP system. Sociodemographic factors and CP system contacts were examined for all family members within intergenerational CP groups, using binary logistic regression.

- Results
Most families (67.8%) had no contact with child protection across generations. Approximately 31% of children were known to CP services, relative to 5% of mothers and 1.7% fathers in the cohort. The majority of children known to CP services (85%) had no parental history of maltreatment (‘cycle initiator’ families). Almost 79% of children whose parents had historical CP records were also known to CP services (‘cycle maintainers’; representing 15% of all children known to CP services) and 21% were unknown to child protection services (classed as ‘cycle breakers’; representing 4% of all children known to CP services). Parents classified as ‘cycle maintainers’ had more serious, frequent, and earlier involvement with the CP system, and higher levels of disadvantage, compared to other groups.

- Conclusions
Socioeconomic drivers of intergenerational CP system involvement deserve attention from policy makers.
