Acknowledgements
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet and pay my respects to their elders past and present. I would like to thank the Australian Society of Archivists for inviting me to make a presentation to this conference today. In particular, I would like to acknowledge two distinguished archivists who will feature on the panel following my speech to you today: Professor Sue McKemmish and Barbara Reed, as well as two members of the non-archival community who have been working towards improving recordkeeping for wards of the state – they are Ms Bonny Djuric, a founding member of Parrgirls, and Mr Frank Golding, from the Care Leavers Association Network.
