The Gilles Plains Assessment Unit replaced the Gilles Plains Community Unit in 1992. Run by the Department of Family and Community Services, the Assessment Unit was a purpose built facility located at the same Gilles Plains address, 643 North East Road. The new Unit provided short-term emergency care for up to eight children, boys and girls, between the ages of eight to upper teens.
The Gilles Plains Assessment Unit was one of the institutions that came under scrutiny for allegations of abuse during the Children in State Care Inquiry 2004-2008. The Unit was still operating at the time of the publication of the Children in State Care Inquiry Final Report in 2008.
