In 1882 the Girls' Orphanage moved to larger premises in Adelaide Terrace which were further enlarged in 19. At a meeting in Fremantle in November 1868, it was reported that children came from the Perth Workhouse - which was desirable not only because those children were greatly in need but also because the Government gave an allowance for taking those children. The orphanage was located in two cottages near the Causeway. The Perth Girls Orphanage opened on 1 June 1868 with seven girls and one boy and plans to increase the number of children 'as the funds allow'. The premises were evacuated in 1942 and the Home became part of Swan Homes in Middle Swan. The Home was run by the The Committee until 1889, the Orphanages' Committee until 1939 and the Anglican Orphanages Board of Management until it closed. In 1882 the Home moved west up Adelaide Terrace.
Children who were not orphans were also admitted. It operated in a building near the Causeway, for children of all denominations aged 2-14 years. Perth Girls' Orphanage was established as the 'Protestant Orphanage' in 1868 with 8 children, including one boy.
