The Foundling Hospital and Infants' Home (Incorporated) came into being under the Hospitals and Charities Act 1890. This new body was established to run the Foundling Hospital in East Melbourne, which had been operating since 1877. It also ran the Beaconsfield Babies' Home.
In 1914, the Victorian Government Gazette published a petition from 25 signatories for the Foundling Hospital and Infants' Home, in East Melbourne and Beaconsfield, to be incorporated.
