APPENDIX 6
LIST OF HOMES AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS
REFERRED TO BY CARE LEAVERS IN
SUBMISSIONS
The following is a listing of all the orphanages, children's homes and other institutions
referred to by care leavers in all the submissions, both public and confidential. The
figure after the name indicates the number of references made to the particular Home
(which equates to the number of people providing submissions who were at that
home). As can be seen, the Committee received submissions from care leavers who
were able to provide information about a very large number of the Homes across all
States that received children.

Children often had multiple placements so that in many submissions care leavers were
able to describe their experiences at 3, 4 or more Homes. The majority of Homes
mentioned in submissions have been able to be identified in the list; however, some
references were generic (eg Catholic nuns or Salvation Army) and others were
difficult to idntify so have been listed as recorded in the submission.

A comprehensive listing of Homes across Australia may be accessed from the CLAN
website at: www.clan.org.au
