Tuart Place - "Growing Strong Together" Of the 500,000 children in these institutions, about a tenth were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children.

Tuart Place - "Growing Strong Together"

Tuart Place is a resource service for Western Australians who experience out-of-home care during childhood. Throughout Australia, over the course of the 20th century, about half a million children spent time in Children's Homes, orphanages, training schools, reformatories and other 'care' institutions. A smaller number, about 7000, were British and Maltese child migrants. Only a tiny minority were orphans. Some children spent a relatively short time in these places, others spent their entire childhood 'inside'. The governing body of Tuart Place is Forgotten Australians Coming Together Inc. FACT is Western Australia’s representative body for people who were in out-of-home care during childhood, including Former Child Migrants from the UK and Malta, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian-born care leavers. FACT was formally launched in 2009 with the aim of providing support to anyone who had experienced out-of-home care in WA. As of July 2012 FACT is a public benevolent institution and a deductible gft recipient. In 2011 FACT commissioned extensive research to inform the development of a WA Resource Service. The findings of this research, which included a Consultative Workshop and a postal survey sent to 961 Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants, supported key recommendations of the Senate Inquiries and existing research in Australia and overseas. This information was used to develop Tuart Place. The agency’s continuing improvement will be informed by feedback from service users and external evaluations. Any donations above $2 to FACT are tax deductible.

What a great thing to celebrate!

Today is the International Day of Older Persons… a topic very close to our hearts! 💜

This year’s United Nations theme is: ‘The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives’.

What does it mean? People are living longer, but not always healthier. Society needs to improve healthcare, work, housing and support so older people can live well, independently and fairly.

We recently conducted the Seniors Budget-wise Survey and the results in a nutshell are: rising costs associated with food, utilities, healthcare, and everyday living expenses still putting big pressure on household budgets.

What assistance would make the greatest difference?

Respondents overwhelmingly identified support with:
🔹energy and utility bills as the highest priority (43%)
🔹 followed by food assistance (21%) and
🔹 help with medical expenses (16%).

While older people are doing the best they can to adapt, extra better-targeted support is needed to help them live safely, independently, and with dignity in our communities.

On this International Day of Older Persons what will you be rethinking or encouraging those in power to rethink to create a fairer landscape?

It was great to welcome our longstanding Patron Senator Dean Smith to Tuart Place again. We are most grateful to Dean for his unwavering support of Care Leavers and outstanding advocacy for Tuart Place. Senator Smith paused for a photo with some of the TP team and Josh – an avid Dockers fan.

Go Freo!
