The WA Government is delivering a Stolen Generations Redress Scheme to acknowledge the harm experienced by Stolen Generations survivors, which for many people involved separation from family, community, Country, and culture.
The Scheme will deliver a payment of $85,000 to each living Stolen Generations member who was removed as a child from their family in Western Australia before 1 July 1972.
The Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) is leading the implementation of the Scheme and has been collaborating with key Stolen Generations organisations to ensure it is trauma-informed and culturally appropriate.
Applications can also be made on behalf of a family member who passed away on or after 27 May 2025, the date the Scheme was announced.
There is also an opportunity for Stolen Generations survivors to share their story and receive an acknowledgement of their experience from a WA Government representative.
The Scheme also offers access to support services:
