Hardie House, also known as the Port Hedland Hostel, was mentioned in testimony given to the Special Inquiry into St Andrew's Hostel, Katanning by a person who was Warden there in the early 1980s and who later became an executive officer with the Country High School Hostels Authority. This testimony referred to the Hostel being 'taken over' by Goldsworthy Mining during the 1980s and also to an allegation of sexual abuse against a supervisor at the hostel in 1985.
