In government records, this hostel is sometimes referred to as an 'Anglican hostel'. It is possible that before it became a 'subsidised centre' under the Child Welfare Act in 1979 (Government Gazette WA 1979/055), this hostel was previously managed by the Anglican Diocese of North West Australia, on behalf of the Department.
