Julie Wilson was removed from her family at three weeks old and adopted. In 1990 Julie discovered her Aboriginality when searching for her birth family against the wishes of her adoptive family. Wilson was later reunited with her sister. Wilson has worked for Link-Up.
Wilson's story was recorded by the National Library of Australia for the Bringing Them Home oral history project and appeared in the associated publication Many Voices: Reflections on experiences of Indigenous child separation, edited by Doreen Mellor and Anna Haebich (2002).
