    Stolen Generations descendant Karlie Stewart on truthtelling
    Oct 14 2026
    Newly released national survey data provides a clearer picture of the health and wellbeing outcomes for the Stolen Generations survivors and descendants.

    The data released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare also shows there are an estimated 200,000 Stolen Generations descendants aged 18 years and over. Half of descendants live with a disability or restrictive long-term condition and 37 per cent experience high psychological distress.

    The Stolen Generations refers to the First Nations children who were removed from their families across Australia - from the mid-1800s and until the 1970s - as part of deliberate assimilation policies aimed at eliminating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

    In this episode:
    • How intergenerational trauma manifests in Stolen Generations families
    • Lower health, wellbeing and socioeconomic factors documented in national data
    • The role of Stolen Generations advocacy groups
    • 30 years on from a landmark report, what happened to the recommendations to support healing for Stolen Generations survivors?
