| Sponsoring Agency | Ieramugadu Community Incorporated |
| Address(es) | Roebourne |
| Brief History | “A shelter for homeless teenage girls has been established and is being managed by the Ieramugadu Community Incorporated, which represents the majority of Aboriginal people in Roebourne.” (Annual Report of the Department for Community Welfare, June 30th 1982).
Grant-in-Aid 1982 for furniture/fittings, bathroom renovations and hotwater system for the shelter.
The Ieramugadu Shelter was not included in the Department’s 1994 Annual Report, where all affiliated non-Government services were listed, so it is likely that the service had closed by then. |
| Records | Departmental case records for young people referred by the Department may reside with the Department of Communities.
Additionally, the Department for Child Protection and Famiily Support’s Aboriginal Index and the guide, “Looking West”, should be consulted for information.
It is unknown whether any other records are still in existence.
The Department may be able to assist people wishing to contact Ieramugadu to see if they hold case records or other information that may be useful to people. |
| Access | While access to records is restricted to protect the privacy of individuals, people are encouraged to enquire. |
