Orphanages & Children’s Homes

ABOUT ORPHANAGES & CHILDREN’S HOMES

CLAN continues to conduct research into Orphanages, Children’s Homes, Missions and Foster Care that Australia once had.

This section of our site is devoted to Children’s Homes and Orphanages. We have been collecting photos of Homes and other memorabilia, including facts and other information to build the biggest database within Australia.

Many of our members have now been able to trace back through their past, identifying where they were placed as children and have been able to make contact with lost friends and even relatives. On this page, you can search to find your Children’s Home or Orphanage.

If you were in one of these Orphanage or Children’s Homes, you may be able to make contact with someone you knew. The aim of this database is to create a comprehensive listing of Homes across Australia, and further afield. To date there is no such listing.

 

Making contact with others

If other members are looking to make contact with other individuals who resided in the same Home or orphanage, as a CLAN member you can view our ‘where are they now’ page or, can email CLAN straight away. Please note, no personal details are supplied to others without your permission and no information is provided to non-members under any circumstances. All contact is made through CLAN representatives.

 

What if my Home is not listed?

If the Home you were in is not listed please contact the CLAN office by telephone 1800 008 774 or email support@clan.org.au and we will add your Home details as soon as possible.
