NSW Health Stolen Generations Survivors Action Plan 2025–2030: Towards Health and Healing 

​​​​​​​​Summary

​The NSW Health Stolen Generations Survivors Action Plan 2025–2030: Towards Health and Healing is the first of its kind in Australia ​and an important step forward in our ongoing commitment to healing and addressing the urgent health and aged care needs of Stolen Generations Survivors. 

​This Action Plan reflects the wisdom, perseverance and leadership of Stolen Generations Survivors to raise awareness and address the ‘gap within the gap’, they face. ​

​​Su​rvivors experience more adverse health outcomes compared to the broader Aboriginal population –  which are already significantly worse than most other Australians. 

​This Action Plan ensures that the voices, wisdom and leadership of Survivors are at the forefront of how we adapt, d​esign and deliver health services to meet their needs. It outlines six key objectives: 

• ​improve access to health and healing services for Survivors and descendants   
• improve access to aged care and end-of-life care for Survivors   
• improve health and wellbeing supports for Survivors and descendants in the criminal justice system   
• strengthen health system capacity to meet the health and wellbeing needs of Survivors and descendants   
• enhance resources and supports for Stolen Generations Organisations   
• support a Survivor and descendant health and wellbeing research agenda. 

​This Action Plan was developed through extensive collaboration and co-design with Stolen Generations Survivors and Stolen Generations Organisations. We thank those who contributed to  its development.
