The Bush Church Aid Society is a Christian ministry that has provided religious education, flying padres and counselling, welfare and medical services across outback Australia. In 2012, many of its workers are Aboriginal. It also ran children's hostels, providing accommodation and residential support for children who had to leave their homes for their education. One of these hostels was located in Broken Hill, at 182 Lane Street. It is thought that records of the Broken Hill Home are limited to one box of photos and Bush Church Aid Society magazines, The Real Australian. There are no lists of names of children.
