Australia risks failing a generation of ForgottenAustralians once again as survivors of historical institutional abuse growolder and key national support programs approach critical deadlines, accordingto Alliance for Forgotten Australians (AFA) Chair Suzanne Burke

 “Urgent government action is needed to address ongoinggaps in aged care, health, housing and specialist support. Many ForgottenAustralians have spent their lives waiting for meaningful change, and as theygrow older, time is running out,” Ms Burke said.

 The warning follows the From Forgotten toRemembered Parliamentary Roundtable in Canberra on Monday (26 October),which brought together Forgotten Australians, Ministers and governmentrepresentatives to discuss practical solutions to the lifelong impacts ofinstitutional care and the reforms still needed.
