===South Australia=== In June 1998, Bruce Trevorrow, a [[Ngarrindjeri]] man, sued the [[South Australian Government]] for [[pain and suffering]] suffered as a result of his being removed from his parents when he was a baby. On 1 August 2007, aged 50, Trevorrow became the first member of the Stolen Generations to be awarded compensation by a court of law, when it awarded him {{AUD|525,000}}. The SA government appealed in February 2008, but lost their appeal in March 2010, but Trevorrow had died only a few months after they lodged the appeal.<ref name=cscomp/> The South Australian reparations scheme was set up in November 2015, after a 2013 parliamentary committee reported that such a fund would be cheaper than fighting legal claims. The fund allows for around 300 eligible people to receive up to {{AUD|50,000}} each.<ref name=cscomp/> A {{AUD|6 million}} Individual Reparations Scheme provided ex-gratia payments to Aboriginal people who were eligible for reparations, and in 2018, a payment of {{AUD|20,000}} was made to eligible applicants, with an additional {{AUD|10,000}} to follow. After the total fund of {{AUD|16 million}} was underspent, the Community Reparations Fund was established to support projects that would promote healing for the Stolen Generations, their families and the wider community.<ref>{{cite web |title=Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme |website=Department of the Premier and Cabinet |date=28 March 2019 |url=https://www.dpc.sa.gov.au/responsibilities/aboriginal-affairs-and-reconciliation/reconciliation/stolen-generations-reparations-scheme |access-date=6 August 2021 |archive-date=5 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210805141707/https://www.dpc.sa.gov.au/responsibilities/aboriginal-affairs-and-reconciliation/reconciliation/stolen-generations-reparations-scheme |url-status=dead }} [[File:CC-BY icon.svg|50px]] Text may have been copied from this source, which is available under a [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/ Attribution 3.0 Australia (CC BY 3.0 AU)] licence.</ref>
