The New South Wales government is funding investigations into possible clandestine burials at three Stolen Generations institutions, confirming that the search has widened beyond the notorious Kinchela boys’ home, where multiple sites of possible clandestine burials were discovered last year.

In September, Guardian Australia revealed there are at least nine “suspicious” sites of possible graves on the grounds of Kinchela Aboriginal Boys’ Training Home, one of the most violent and abusive institutions of the Stolen Generations era.
