The South Perth Refuge was established around 1983 by the Jesus People, who were also known as Perth City Mission and then Mission Australia. The refuge was described in 1983 as providing safe accommodation and support for up to ten young women aged 14-25 years, generally without children, with the length of stay dependent on individual needs. The South Perth Refuge had closed by 1991.
