Wooroloo Hospital opened in 1912, and operated as Wooroloo Sanatorium until 1959, treating male and female adults. In 1959, the Sanatorium was taken over by the medical department for use as a geriatric hospital. The Prisons Department officially acquired the site in April 1970, and opened Wooroloo Training Centre, a minimum security facility for adult males. This later became Wooroloo Prison Farm.
