The Child and Family Care Network came into being around 1986. Previously, it was known as the Burwood Children's Home.
This institution closed in 1986, and the Child and Family Care Network sold the Burwood site and relocated to Glen Waverley. The name change reflected the new directions of the organisation, transitioning from institutional 'care' to child and family welfare and educational programs.
In 1996, following a review, the organisation shifted its focus to children's services and early intervention. In 2006, it changed its name to bestchance Child Family Care.
