In 1967 Miss Heather Anderson of Moonee Ponds made application to operate a children's home for up to four State wards. Miss Anderson was a member of the Church of Christ with some experience in working in a children's home as a missionary in Lebanon.
Whilst this application was being assessed Miss Anderson's home was approved under the Infant Life Protection provisions of the Children's Welfare Act.
The facility functioned somewhere between a private foster home and a children's home. From 1968 to 1973 Miss Anderson cared for four children (two sibling groups). In 1973 these children were transferred to other placements and the home ceased to function.
