Eileen Moseley was removed from her family in the 1940s into a hostel in Alice Springs and then sent into foster care in Victoria where she trained to be a nurse. She was reunited with her family when she was in her twenties and regained her Pitjantjatjara language. Moseley helped establish Link-Up in Alice Springs to reunite other indigenous families and has worked with Nganampa Health.

Moseley'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).
