PRIME Minister Julia Gillard will offer a national apology to victims of past forced adoption practices on Thursday.
Between the 1950s and 1970s an estimated 150,000 unwed Australian mothers had their babies forcibly adopted under a practice sanctioned by governments, churches, hospitals, charities and bureaucrats.
Some women were tricked into signing adoption papers, drugged and physically shackled to hospital beds.
Ms Gillard will offer the apology on Thursday in the Great Hall of Parliament House.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will also make a speech.
The House of Representatives and the Senate will move motions of apology following the event.
All state and territory governments have apologised to victims apart from the Northern Territory, which will do so soon.
