While Burnside is today well known for the services it provides to families and children throughout western Sydney, information about its early history is less well known. This article describes the background to the establishment of Burnside at North Parramatta, the role played by Sir James Burns of Burns Philp & Co, the impact of the Second World War when the Homes were evacuated to the Blue Mountains, and demonstrates how the impact of changes to child welfare policy this century affected the Homes. As different theories of appropriate care for children and the resultant policy measures were introduced, the Homes were transformed from being one of the largest residential child care institutions in New South Wales in the era of the Great Depression, to their current role of providing services to large numbers of families and children of a more preventive nature. |
