10th anniversary of the National Apology

The 10th anniversary of the National Apology for Forced Adoptions was on 21 March 2023 

The National Apology for Forced Adoptions acknowledged the pain and suffering associated with forced adoption practices. It committed to supporting all those affected to get the help they need. They are not forgotten.  

The 10th Anniversary was a date of national significance for many people. The Australian Government hosted commemorative activities in Canberra. This brought together people affected with those who work to support them.
