Forgotten Australians or care leavers are terms referring to the estimated 500,000 children (a figure that includes child migrants and Indigenous Australians) who experienced care in institutions or outside a home setting in Australia during the 20th century. The Australian Senate committee used the term in the title of its report which resulted from its 2003–2004 "Inquiry into Children in Institutional Care", which looked primarily at those affected children who were not covered by the 1997 Bringing Them Home report, which focused on Aboriginal children, and the 2001 report Lost Innocents: Righting the Record which reported on an inquiry into child migrants.

  • Forgotten Australians or care leavers are terms referring to the estimated 500,000 children (a figure that includes child migrants and Indigenous Australians) who experienced care in institutions or outside a home setting in Australia during the 20th century. The Australian Senate committee used the term in the title of its report which resulted from its 2003–2004 "Inquiry into Children in Institutional Care", which looked primarily at those affected children who were not covered by the 1997 Bringing Them Home report, which focused on Aboriginal children, and the 2001 report Lost Innocents: Righting the Record which reported on an inquiry into child migrants. Children ended up in out-of-home care for a variety of reasons, mainly relating to poverty and family breakdown at a time when there was little support for families in crisis. Residential institutions run by government and non-government organisations were the standard form of out-of-home care during the first half of the 20th century. Children in institutions were sometimes placed in foster homes for short periods, weekends or during holiday periods. There was a move towards smaller group care from the 1950s and a move away from institutional care to kinship and foster care from the 1970s. Some Australian state governments have funded redress schemes for adults who were abused in care. In 2009 an official Australian government apology was made to people who had grown up in the institutional system, including former child migrants to Australia. The apology was made by then Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. Many of these children suffered from neglect and were abused physically, emotionally or sexually while in care. Survivors to this day still suffer the effects of the child abuse. The trauma experienced in care has affected care leavers negatively throughout their adult lives. Their partners and children have also felt the impact, which can then flow through to future generations. (en)
  • 所谓「被遺忘的澳洲人」(Forgotten Australians),是指1930年代至1960年代后期之间,在「儿童移民计划」安排之下,从英国等地来到澳大利亚(以及加拿大、新西兰和南非等国家)的50多万名儿童。他们在来到澳洲之后,多数未享受到所保证的教育和更好的前途,而且他们之中有一些甚至遭到身心虐待。他们远离亲人、被遗忘和奚落的感受,以及这一段无爱和孤独的童年,甚至被虐待的经历,在不少人的心中留下难以抚平的疤痕。 澳洲东部时间2009年11月16日上午11时,澳洲总理陆克文和反对党领袖麦肯·腾博代表全国,分别向「被遺忘的澳洲人」正式道歉。陆克文说希望这些「被遺忘的澳洲人」,能真正成为「被记住的澳洲人」(Remembered Australians),不再被遗忘。该道歉过程在电视上直播。现场有1000多名被害人,听到政治人物的道歉,频频拭泪。 目前,澳大利亚的一些州正在协商对这一人群的赔偿。 (zh)
