The Hannah Buckley Home was establied by the Catholic Church in April 1980 in Parkside. The first children to be placed in the Home were transferred from Orana Cottage in Plympton.
The Home was named after South Australia's first Catholic social worker and founder of the Catholic Family Welfare Bureau, Hannah Buckley. Cottages run by the Catholic Church were variously staffed by Catholic Sisters, a cottage mother or married cottage parents. The majority of cottages were located in suburban areas. They accommodated a small number of children in a family group setting. Most provided medium to long term care rather than short term emergency care. Hannah Buckley Home closed in April 1987.
