AFA Members
AFA is a national, peak group of organisations and selected individuals from across Australia that promotes the interests of the estimated 500,000 people who experienced institutional or other out-of-home care as children in the last century, many of whom suffered physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse. AFA members live in all States and Territories. Some are members of existing support groups (HAN, Open Place, CLAN, FACT and Origins/Harp); others are working to set up support groups in States/Territories where they do not exist. AFA has a Steering Committee of Forgotten Australians, who vote, and an Advisory Group. Advisory Group members do not vote.

AFA is not a support service or a general membership body. We are an advocacy body. AFA is a place where existing support groups come together to speak with one voice in lobbying governments and past providers to do better in assisting Forgotten Australians.
