An Act to establish a System of boarding-out Children. [5th April, 1881.], 5 April 1881, courtesy of NSW legislation.
DETAILS
At first, only children who had already been placed in institutions could be boarded out, but the Act was amended in 1901 to enable the SCRB to commit children directly to its care. An earlier amendment in 1896 had enabled the SCRB to pay a half-rate of the boarding out allowance to widows and deserted wives who were considered respectable enough to keep their children.
