The Child Welfare Act Amendment Act 1970 (no 1970/039) came into effect on 23 September 1970. It repealed the existing and created a new Second Schedule, giving current names to subsidised institutions. The way children on 'indictable' offences could be treated by the courts was also amended (s.20) and provisions for controlling foster care (ss.111, 113) were also tightened. The Child Welfare Act Amendment Act 1970 was repealed by the Children and Community Services Act 2004.
In the Child Welfare Act Amendment Act 1970, the second schedule (s.15) was amended to update 'subsidised institutions' (organisations that could receive a government subsidy for eligible children accommodated there): 's. 6 SECOND SCHEDULE. Church of England: Swanleigh (Boys and Girls), Middle Swan. Parkerville Children's Home Inc. (Boys and Girls), Parkerville. Roman Catholic: Catherine McAuley Centre.
