| Last updated on - August 18, 1993 What is significant? The Carlton Refuge (Queen Elizabeth Maternal and Child Health Centre) was established at Carlton in 1861 as a reformatory for young single women who had engaged in prostitution. It gradually expanded its operations to include care for neglected children, training for mothercraft and infant welfare nurses, residential care for unmarried mothers and their babies and other services. The site has been in continuous use for the same purpose since 1861, and the significant buildings include the original dining room, laundry and matron's room (1861-63), chapel (1881), hospital ward (1882), dormitory wings and administration wing (1907) and a model baby health centre(1951). How is it significant? The Carlton Refuge (Queen Elizabeth Maternal and Child Health Centre) is historically and socially significant to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant?

The Carlton Refuge and the later institutions on the site illustrate changes in attitudes to women and sexuality since the 1861 foundation. The evolution in emphasis during the twentieth century to health services for women and young children away from the reformist zeal of the nineteenth century can be seen in the changes to the buildings. The chapel exemplifies the aims of the founders of the institution, who hoped to inculcate true penitence in the women and inspire them to lead a virtuous life, while the baby health centre is socially significant as an example of twentieth century moves to provide advice on child health issues to women throughout the State. The Chapel is a significant building in its own right both architecturally and denominationally. It is a rare example in Victoria from the 19th century of a multi-den |
