Wimmera Community Care ran two family group homes, one in Horsham and one in Stawell, continuously until 1994. In 1994 the Stawell family group home was closed and the property in Horsham became a Residential Care Unit. In 1985 the organisation commenced its foster care program and in 1988 it added a Shared Family Care programme. Wimmera Community Care's Adolescent Community Placement programme began in the 1994/95 financial year.
