This institution is included in the Scheme as part of the Uniting Church in Australia (Western Australia). Since 1956 Sister Kate's Children's Home was the responsibility of the Presbyterian Church, and when the Uniting Church formed (union of Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches) in 1977 became the responsibility of the Uniting Church in Australia. Sister Kate's Children's Home and Mogumber Training Centre amalgamated to become Sister Kate's Child and Family Services in 1980 and in 1987 the name changed to "Manguri - A Development of Sister Kate's and an Agency of the Uniting Church"; its purpose being for residential child care and family support for indigenous children and families. In July 1994 it was registered as "Manguri Aboriginal Corporation Incorporated" for Aboriginal children and young people aged 0 - 17 years who have been assessed by Family and Children's Services and then assisted by the Manguri Cottage Programme and Transitional Accommodation Service for
