Gilmore House, in Medina, was opened in 1988 as a government-run group home that accommodated children, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, from the southwestern metropolitan area. It was located in premises previously occupied by the Medina Hostel. It is uncertain how long Gilmore House operated, but it possibly had closed by 2005. In 2014, the premises were used by the Moorditj Koort Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre Kwinana and Rockingham.

Government reports (Signposts 2004, pp.221, 330) suggest that Gilmore House might have been developed to meet additional demand for accommodation for children who were unable to live at home or in foster placements. It is possible that Gilmore House and the Medina Hostel were both operating for a period in the 1980s until the Medina Hostel closed.
