The Victorian Children's Aid Society was established in 1920. It was formerly the Victorian Neglected Children's Aid Society. It ran a Home in Parkville that accommodated boys and girls, aged between 4 and 14. In 1966 the Society moved the Home (renamed Swinburne House) and headquarters to Black Rock. In the 1980s, the Society expanded into family group homes, youth work, disability and foster care. The Victorian Children's Aid Society became known as Family Focus in 1991.
