The operations of the female rescue Homes in New South Wales were not limited to the rescue of fallen women. In Sydney, some were refuges for women who had found themselves homeless in the city. Increasingly, these Homes catered to single mothers and their babies, while others specialised in women with particular needs, such as alcohol and drugs, or women released from prison.
The Sydney Rescue Work Society's Home of Hope for Friendless and Fallen Women evolved into the South Sydney Maternity Hospital.
