Stewart Cottage officially opened 13 October 1962 and was licensed under The State Children Act 1911 in 1962, and The Children's Services Act 1965 on 4 August 1966.
Stewart Cottage Family Group Home closed after continual neighbourhood complaints. The Uniting Church also decided that security in the old building was not at a satisfactory standard for a residential facility. The residents were moved to Kingsbury.
