Kemblawarra Child and Family Centre Inc was officially opened in 1980, following a community meeting convened by the Matron of Port Kembla Hospital. The meeting expressed concern over the need to prevent child abuse and neglect, and resulted in the formation of a community committee. From this grew the Kemblawarra Child and Family Centre Inc., whose aims included the provision of 24 hour preventative emergency care for children aged zero to twelve years. Due to a lack of government funding, the emergency care program ceased to operate on 31 December 1997. The Centre still exists, but now provides day care and specialist family counselling and support services.
