Survivor-Led Federal Inquiry—One with Enforceable Outcomes Action Survivor Led Unapologetic Unstoppable

We are not calling for symbolism. We are calling for justice. We demand a survivor-led Federal Inquiry—one with enforceable outcomes, not empty gestures. We demand truth, redress, and reform. Every institution—government, religious, and welfare—must be held accountable for the harm they continue to cause, the lives they continue to fracture, and the silence they still maintain.

We Are No Longer Politely Asking

The time for polite requests is over. Survivors are not asking. We are demanding.

Protection and Access to Records
We are still blocked by redactions, vetoes, and sealed files. Record destruction continues. Our histories are being erased in real time. We demand full, unredacted access—and legal protection for every document that holds our truth.

Legal Pathways and Support
Justice must be accessible—not delayed, denied, or deflected. We demand free legal aid and time-bar exemptions so misconduct can finally be tested in court. No more hiding behind technicalities.

Reparations and Redress
Current services are underfunded, inadequate, and retraumatising. We demand a national compensation scheme that is structural, survivor-led, and properly resourced. No more token funding. No more bureaucratic cruelty.

Criminal and Civil Accountability
Institutions that falsify, conceal, or destroy records must face consequences. No more impunity. No more protection. Survivors deserve justice—and perpetrators must be named.

Survivor-Led Oversight
Independent oversight must be led by survivors. Nothing about us without us. We will not be spoken for. We will speak.

Truth-Telling
We demand public disclosure of institutions and individuals responsible. No more vague references to “past practices.” Truth must be named—not abstracted. Not softened. Not buried.

Enshrined Rights
We demand legal recognition of the right to identity, family connection, and truth. Australia must align with international human rights standards. Our rights are not optional. They are overdue.

National Consistency
The patchwork of state and territory laws must end. We demand federal enforcement using Section 96 funding powers. No more postcode justice.

Religious Accountability
Churches and faith-based organisations must cooperate, contribute to reparations, and publicly acknowledge their roles. No institution is above accountability. No more sacred silence.

This is not a wishlist. This is a reckoning. Survivors are still waiting. Still hurting. Still fighting. And we are done being ignored.

Coordinated National Class Action Survivor Led Relentless Uncompromising

We are launching a national class action—coordinated, survivor-led, and unapologetically focused on the harm still being inflicted today. This is not about history. This is about the institutions that promised change and delivered silence. It’s about falsified records, blocked access, destroyed evidence, and the calculated obstruction survivors still face.

We are building a national coalition of survivors—united, relentless, and ready to act. Together, we will meet the legal thresholds required to launch a class action. We will file in the Federal Court under Part IVA of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976, or coordinate parallel actions in state and territory Supreme Courts. Wherever justice can be forced, we will go. We will frame our claims as ongoing harm to bypass limitation period defences. We will use evidence from the Federal Inquiry, survivor testimony, and whistleblower disclosures. We will target government departments, religious organisations, and any institution still obstructing justice.

We will seek damages—real, aggravated, and exemplary. We will demand injunctions for immediate record release. We will pursue declarations of rights breaches and orders to reopen settlements entered into without full disclosure. We will not settle for silence.

Because when politics fail, the law becomes our weapon. Courts can compel what governments delay. They can expose what institutions hide. They can punish what bureaucracies protect.

Class actions bring public exposure. They force transparency. They reduce individual costs and amplify collective power. They establish legal precedent. And they impose financial consequences—damages and legal costs—that make obstruction and neglect too expensive to ignore.

If you are a survivor of forced adoption or removal—and you’ve been denied records, silenced by bureaucracy, or retraumatised by systems that promised support—you may be eligible to join. This is your chance to stand with others, speak your truth, and force change. We are not asking. We are taking action.

Part IVA gives us the legal power to unite. It allows groups of people with similar claims to file together and demand justice. It was built for cases like this—where institutions have harmed many in the same way, and survivors are ready to fight back.

We are done being ignored. We are done being polite. We are done waiting.

Survivor Led. Relentless. Uncompromising. This is the fight. And we are in it.
