The NSW government will offer survivors of the Stolen Generation
financial compensation as part of a reparation package worth more than
$73 million.
The reparations scheme offering one-off payments to survivors is in order to address the trauma and harm from forced removal of Aboriginal children by providing a reparations package. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Leslie Williams says the package is a healing fund to address intergenerational trauma caused by historical government practices.
