Kinchela Boys Home

Aboriginal Corporation

Unlocking our past to free our future

KBHAC is a Stolen Generations’ survivor-led Aboriginal Corporation of excellence and a National Disability Insurance Scheme registered provider that has developed a unique survivor led approach to its governance and healing.

Kinchela Boys Home (KBH) was run by the NSW Government from 1924–1970 to house Aboriginal boys who were forcibly removed from their families under the policies that created the Stolen Generations.

Established in 2002 by KBH Survivors, KBHAC is a not-for-profit organisation that helps restore and reconstruct the identity, dignity and integrity of those Aboriginal men, and also to address the intergenerational trauma that adversely impacts on the lives of the men’s families and descendants.

Our survivor led approach to organisational governance and practice is built on and informed by the guidance and unique insights of Survivors. This contributes to the social and emotional wellbeing of survivors, their communities, and cultures.
