The Australian Red Cross was established in 1914. It began as the Australian Branch of the British Red Cross, in Melbourne in August, 1914, just after the outbreak of World War One, and grew into a national organisation. The Red Cross ran a number of children's Homes around Australia, including in Queensland.
