About institution

Institution included through:
The Menzies Home for Children
Notes:
The Menzies Home for Children was the new name given in October 1961 to the former The Menzies Home for Boys. The organisation became Menzies Inc. in 2000. At the end of 1961 the State School No. 4136 that had operated at the Home since the 1920's was shut and all students were enrolled in the local Davey Street State School. This institution is included in the Scheme as part of Menzies Inc.

The Australian Government acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community. We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present.
