Glendalough Cottage was established by Centrecare Children's Cottages in 1990, in the Perth suburb of Glendalough. The agency had for some time believed there was a need for children and young people to have a metropolitan accommodation alternative, for children returning from the country cottages (Beverley, Brookton and Northam) and for teenagers from Perth.
Glendalough Cottage admitted 'a mixed population' of Aboriginal children and young people. Glendalough Cottage was run by Djooraminda from August 1992 after the change of name from Centrecare Children's Cottages.
