BiographyHistory

Annie Ozies was placed into the Holy Child Orphanage in Broome at the age of five and when her mother passed away. Her siblings were sent to Beagle Bay. Annie had contact with her family when she was sent to Beagle Bay during World War II. After the war, she returned to the orphanage until she left at the age of twenty, moved to Darwin at twenty-one and worked at the Darwin Hospital for thirty years.

Ozies' 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).
