The aftermath of past child welfare practices has generated pain and anger across Australia. Through an analysis of the literature which informed such practices the project will strengthen Australia's social fabric by providing a much-needed historical context for the individuals, voluntary and government organizations seeking to understand how actions cast as benevolent could cause such harm. Such an understanding will also be cautionary for those engaged in the promotion of intercountry aid and adoption programs, which make similarly emotional appeals thus enhancing Australia's capacity to interpret and engage with its regional and global environment.

过去的儿童福利做法的后果在澳大利亚各地产生了痛苦和愤怒。通过分析为这种做法提供信息的文献，该项目将加强澳大利亚的社会结构，为个人、志愿组织和政府组织提供迫切需要的历史背景，以了解被视为仁慈的行动如何造成这种伤害。这样的理解也将对那些从事促进国家间援助和收养计划的人起到警示作用，这些计划发出类似的情感呼吁，从而提高澳大利亚解释和参与其区域和全球环境的能力。
