Kinchela Boys Home - approx

Kinchela Boys Home was stablished by an amendment to the Aborigines Protection Act (1911) to take Aboriginal children removed from their families. Many Sydney Kooris were sent there. Justice Hal Wootten’s Reports, for the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Royal Commission, document the brutal punishment and sexual abuse suffered by boys in the Kinchela Home.
