St Cuthbert’s Home for Boys commenced operations in 1948, in a two-storey brick building overlooking Colac.
Originally, St Cuthbert’s accommodated boys aged 6 to 14 years. During the 1960s, St Cuthbert’s admission policy was changed to allow for the placement of girls. Presumably, the use of the name ‘St Cuthbert’s Children’s Home’ came into use around this time.
From the late 1960s, St Cuthbert’s established a number of family group homes. In December 1977, St Cuthbert’s Children’s Home was officially closed. It was purchased by the Glastonbury Children’s Home, in 1977, which established a new organisation, Glastonbury at Colac.
