On their own - Britain's child migrants
From the 1860s through to 1967, more than 100,000 children were sent from Britain to Australia and other Commonwealth countries through child migration schemes, which changed the lives of these children dramatically. This exhibition explores the history and motivations behind the government endorsed child migration schemes. It conveys the experiences shared by the children and follows the lives of some former child migrants in their own words, letters, photographs, objects and other personal collections.
Date: Until 6 May 2012

Open for (more than) Business
Many local businesses run by people from migrant communities offer more than just a service. They can act as community hubs and provide links to a homeland while also helping recently arrived migrants establish a connection with their new home. Featuring photographs, stories and a documentary, Open for (more than) Business explores the unique role that local businesses play in Melbourne's migrant communities, from an Indian grocery store in Clayton to an Italian barbershop in Brunswick.
Date: Until 27 May 2012
