Dulwich Hill Family Group Home was opened in 1989 at Wardell Road in Dulwich Hill. The first residents were boys who were transferred from the Marrickville Children's Residence. A number of the children who lived here also spent some time in care at the Stanmore Children's Home and/or the Earlwood Family Group Home.
