History
National Redress
Morialta Trust Inc has been declared a participant in the National Redress Scheme for Survivors of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse.
The National Redress Scheme provides acknowledgment and support to people who experienced institutional child sexual abuse and was created in response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
A predecessor of Morialta Trust Incorporated operated homes known as the Morialta Protestant Children’s Homes Inc (Norton Summit, SA, operating from 1924 to 1972) and the Toorak Gardens Boys Hostel (Toorak Gardens, operating from 1967 to 1972). These homes were renamed The Morialta Children’s Homes Inc in 1972. At the cessation of the homes in 1974, all records naming staff and child occupants were archived. The Department for Child Protection (DCP) holds all staff and resident records relating to the homes and will assist with NRS requests for information. General records, including news articles, about the homes can be accessed through the State Library.
Morialta Trust Inc are committed to supporting survivors of abuse through the Scheme.
