When you contact the State redress service about making a redress claim, they can help you get your records as part of the redress process.
If there is more than one government agency that holds your records, the State redress service can help coordinate this.
The government agency or agencies that hold your records will contact you about how you can access your records.
If you are not eligible for redress, the State redress service can tell you which government agency or agencies hold your records.
Requesting your records can bring up a range of emotions. Learn where you can find support to help you before, during, and after you have received your records.
If you want to access your records without making a claim for redress at the same time, you can contact the government agencies that hold your records.
If you are unsure which government agencies hold your records, you can contact the State redress service to connect you with the government agencies or faith-based organisations that hold your records.
You can also search for the places you were in and find out who should hold records about each place.
