St Joseph’s Babies Home in Glenroy was established in 1975, when the Sisters of St Joseph closed their Foundling Hospital in Broadmeadows. The Glenroy Home established a foster care service, primarily to provide pre-adoptive placements. In 1985, it became part of the new St Joseph’s Babies’ and Family Service, established when the sisters closed the Receiving Home in Carlton.
