Adoptee Rights Australia (ARA) is a registered charity organisation raising public awareness of, and support for, reform of adoption legislation, policy, and services across Australia.
ARA offers support and advocacy for adopted persons as well as giving a voice to our lived experiences so we can work towards reform around adoption. We offer our members support through groups, information and assist adopted people who want to find out more about themselves.
The development of this website for Adopted Rights Australia Inc. was funded by the Australian Department of Social Services, received through the Forced Adoption Support Service operated by Jigsaw QLD.
