This report presents analyses of selected outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who live in households with members of the Stolen Generations. It shows these children are more likely than comparable other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to experience a range of adverse outcomes. The report provides a new perspective on the intergenerational impact of the initial removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families that led to the Stolen Generations.
