The Ballarat Town and City Mission Rescue and Children's Home was established around 1921. It provided accommodation for single mothers and their babies. The Alexandra Babies' Home, also managed by the Mission, was on the same site. The organisation came into being when it took over the Canadian Rescue and Children's Home, and the George Street Children's Home. The Home provided care to single mothers and their children until it closed in 1941.
