  The Link-up program was first supported by the Australian Government in 1998 as a part of the Australian Government's response to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission's publication Bringing them home, which reported the findings of a national inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families.
