The Forgotten Australians

LOFA study (Long-term Outcomes of Forgotten Australians Study)

What is the LOFA Study?

This research aims to understand the impact of institutional care on individuals by directly gathering care leavers' experiences and examining its physical, emotional, and psychological effects on their lives.

Our approach

Our research combines statistical and narrative methods to examine the lifelong impact of being in 'care' on individuals who have left the system. It uses a comprehensive survey to measure and understand these effects.
