Kimberley Stolen Generation Aboriginal Corporation

What Kimberley Stolen Generation Aboriginal Corporation does

Kimberley Stolen Generation Aboriginal Corporation (KSGAC) is a non-profit Aboriginal Corporation (ABN 38 083 786 066) formed in 1996 and incorporated in 2001, headquartered at 28 Barker Street, Broome, Western Australia, with a second services office at 29 Hunter Street in Broome and a regional office at 5 Kentia Way, Kununurra. Its mission is to advocate for and assist Kimberley Aboriginal people adversely affected by past Australian government policies of forced removal of Indigenous children. KSGAC delivers a portfolio of in-person services to Stolen Generation members and their descendants: the Link-Up family reunification service (research, tracing, transport, accommodation, in-house counselling), National, Territories and WA Redress Scheme application and counselling support, the weekly Healing Art Group, the Stolen Generation Cemetery and Database Project, and the Oral Histories Project. It also originates the National Sorry Day Flower (Native Hibiscus / Desert Rose), endorsed by the National Sorry Day Committee and worn by the Fremantle Dockers on AFL Indigenous Round jerseys.

The underlying technology stack is modest: a WordPress website with a WooCommerce online shop, built on the Make platform and designed/developed by Sanz Web Development in Broome. There is no public API, SDK, or AI/ML capability; the database work is manual casework rather than a software product. KSGAC's distribution is a mix of walk-in offices, a FREECALL line (1800 830 338), a quarterly Whadna! newsletter, a Facebook page, radio partnerships (ABC Kimberley, PAKAM/Mary G, Goolari Media), and a WooCommerce storefront for merchandise. The product portfolio comprises six service lines plus a small e-commerce catalogue: KSGAC and Stompem Ground T-shirts, branded pens, Gratitude Stones, four compilation CDs (Nobody's People, Cry Stolen, Remember Me, Stealem' Away), and Sorry Day Flowers sold individually or in bulk boxes of 80.

Revenue is generated through four streams: tiered donations ($5-$500), modest merchandise sales, regional flower distribution (e.g. via Amnesty International in South Australia), and project grants from the Healing Foundation, ArtsWA, the Western Australian Government, the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, and Commonwealth redress-scheme contracts. The customer base is narrow but deep: elderly Stolen Generation survivors and descendants in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, plus NT/ACT Territories Redress applicants. Operational capacity is constrained by a small team (11-50 employees), though recent years have seen progressive geographic and scheme-by-scheme service expansion.
