Devonleigh Maternity Home was established in 1931, following an extension of the Devonleigh Hospital (which had opened in 1926). It was located in the Perth suburb of Peppermint Grove. It was privately run until 1948, when it was taken over by the State Government (most likely by the Public Health Department). Babies were adopted from Devonleigh Maternity Home. It closed in 1979 following a decline in patient numbers. From 1979 it was used by Mental Health Services to accommodate children with intellectual disabilities.
