The South Australian Stolen Generations Aboriginal Corporation is a peak representative body that ensures South Australian Stolen Generations survivors and their descendants are advocated for, represented and included in key policy and decision making activities.
The Board of SASGAC pays its respects to our Founding Chair, Ms C Egan, who’s vision was for the development of a Stolen Generations Peak body in this state.
SASGAC
OUR VISION
Recognising our Stolen Generations survivors, families and communities in the pursuit of dignity, respect, understanding and support for these individuals.
On 13 February 2008, former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered the National Apology to Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for the forced removal, hurt and suffering that past government policies had inflicted.
Stolen Generations survivors form a significantly disadvantaged subgroup within the already disadvantaged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.

We provide family tracing, reunion and counselling services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families who have been separated under the past policies and practices of the Australian Government.
SASGAC acknowledges the Kaurna people as the Traditional Owners of the Country where SASGAC is situated today, and pays its respect to Elders past, present and future. We respect their spiritual beliefs and connections to land which are of continuing importance to the living Kaurna people of today. We further acknowledge the contributions and important role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within our shared community.
