Administrative history
The first Home of Peace, 'Eversleigh' in Petersham, was opened by the Governor of NSW Sir Harry Rawson in 1907. The former Red Cross Convalescent Hostel in Neringah Ave Wahroonga was purchased and opened as the second Home of Peace in 1955. Greenwich Hospital was opened in 1966 and managed the Pallister Girls' Home (with care of boys as well) from 1977. In 1982 this work was transferred to Lower North Shore Area Adolescent Service. Braeside Anglican Hospital was added in 1986.
