Care Provider
Care provider is an umbrella term that refers to the group or organisation responsible for providing and administering out-of-home ‘care’ for children. Although this term was not in common usage before the late 20th century, this website applies it to describe all organisations which operated ‘care’ services, no matter when they were active.

City Mission
City Mission refers to the missions run by various Christian denominations in urban and suburban settings. In the nineteenth century, working class communities in the inner city were seen as 'dark' and 'foreign', and thus an appropriate field for mission. The care of children and unmarried mothers was an important area of activity for these missions. The first half of the 20th century saw an expansion of denominationally based mission activity, with many inner-suburban churches reconstituting themselves as mission districts. In the postwar period, missions took on a more secular role, and were important providers of child welfare services.

Community Service Organisation
Community Service Organisations are privately run groups, often with a religious affiliation, which provide services to the community, including services to support families and out-of-home ‘care’ programmes. Although they are private organisations, they may receive some funding from government to provide particular services.
