Birralee as a children's shelter was jointly administered by the then Department of Interior and the New South Wales Welfare Office in Canberra. Records specific to this period contained in this file include items that contain information about children who were placed at the Birralee Children's Shelter.

There are also administrative records such as correspondence to and from the Department; staffing arrangements and recruitment; property management details; and purchasing particulars associated with equipment and stores.
