Bringing Them Home Workers

A local support service for the Stolen Generations

Due to the nature of our work it is vitally important for us to work with a range of Aboriginal community and government services, programs and groups across Victoria and all over Australia. Within Victoria we work closely with the Bringing Them Home (BTH) workers who are located within a local Aboriginal organisation or health service. BTH workers provide an important local support service to the Stolen Generations within their local community and they are a valuable resource to our work due to their local knowledge and expertise. The following provides details about the location of all BTH workers in Victoria.
