The AOM is located at 351 Ryrie Street, Geelong, Victoria, and features photographs and memorabilia donated by Australian Care Leavers as well as by organisations that ran orphanages around the country.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
