About

Strong Spirit, Strong Culture, Strong People

Set up following the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Healing Foundation works to address the trauma associated with past government policies such as removal of children from their families.

What We Do

We fund culturally strong, community based healing programs  to address the effects of trauma; training and education initiatives  that build the skills of communities and workers to deal with trauma; and research into the benefits of Indigenous healing.

The Healing Foundation model was created following a national consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The report on these consultations, the Voices from the Campfires Report, is available here .
