Residents of St Andrew's Home were generally referred following an appearance before the Children's Court on a care and protection application or in respect of some offence. Admissions followed assessment by a professional social worker, and a feature of the program was its strong community links, with residents attending local schools and participating in community activities.
Following the inauguration of the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, the Home came under the auspice of the Uniting Church, together with Burnside Homes, with St Andrew's being administered under the Burnside program.
The records for St Andrew's Leppington are held by Burnside.
