Our Link-Up Service

Our Family Tracing and Reunion (Link-Up) Service is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing and is part of the National Link-Up Service. The National Aim of the Link-Up Service is-

‘To assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people separated from their families under past laws, practices and policies of Australian governments, to undertake family tracing and reunion initiatives.'

In December 2005, all the Link-Up Services in each state and territory entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that establishes the framework for the Link-Up Services to work together to assist people undertaking family tracing.
