In 2006, the Tasmanian Government initiated legislation to create a $5 million fund to provide payments to eligible members of the Stolen Generations of Aborigines and their children.

The Stolen Generations of Aboriginal Children Act 2006 was passed by all members of both Houses of Parliament in November 2006.

The amount each eligible person was entitled to receive was determined by the legislation. Eligible children of a deceased member of the Stolen Generations were entitled to $5,000 each, with a maximum of $20,000 for a family group.

After claims from children were paid, the balance remaining in the fund was shared equally by eligible members of the Stolen Generations.

The payment process is now finished, and the Stolen Generations Assessor has published a final report.
