  • AU NLA 72896498
  • Corporate body
  • 1984-

Link-Up (Qld) is a not-for-profit organisation based in Brisbane, Queensland, that assists to reunite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with their families and communities. Clients are usually Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were separated from their families and communities at a young age by adoption or foster care, or by being taken away and raised in institutions. The Link-Up research team searches Government records and databases to try to trace the heritage of clients. Additionally, Link-Up provides access to counsellors who support clients through the experience.

As part of the Aboriginal and Islander Child Care Agency (AICCA), Link-Up (Qld) began offering services in 1984. Initially the organisation focused on addressing the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who felt marginalised and oppressed by society. The organisation's mission gained momentum after the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (1987-1991) revealed the impacts of past government policies that resulted in the separation of families and communities. The 1997 'Bringing Them Home' report, produced by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission as part of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families, further affirmed the negative consequences of child removal on Australian Indigenous families, communities and cultures. Link-Up (Qld) continues to offer reunification services to facilitate the healing process in light of these findings.
