Non-Government Agencies and Facilities

While particular Homes or Institutions may have come and gone, there have been a number of organisations in residential out-of-home child care in Western Australia who provided services consistently over a number of years and who may now hold records from the smaller facilities who once had a relationship with them.  The purpose of the following list is to match individual facilities with a main agency to chart a potential record “trail” that may help people searching for records.  Where a facility has had a relationship with more than one main agency, or with the Department, subsequent listings are italicized.

Each of the main agencies and their facilities listed here.  The main agency may also hold information about particular programs they ran which were not aligned with any given residential facility (such as foster care or youth housing programs). 

Information about the facilities listed here, and many others which could not be matched to a main agency, is presented in the main section of Signposts - List of Facilities.
