On this day in 1926 we opened Melbourne’s first after care home to provide transitional care for people of all ages after a hospital stay. MDNS President Jessie Henderson described the hospital as “a new expression of an old need”. Today, we’re still finding new ways to meet community needs, from our parenting, birth and baby telephone helpline to telehealth, home and community support and in our retirement villages and aged care homes.

Monday, 24 September 1945 – 80 years ago today – Queensland Governor Sir Leslie Orme Wilson officially opened the Kenmore Repatriation Sanatorium on the site of what is now Bolton Clarke Fairview, Pinjarra Hills. The first 12 veteran patients had been in residence in August under the watchful eyes of medical superintendent Dr George Cherry and Matron Viola Everett from the 112 Australian General Base Hospital. The sanatorium was founded to support ex-service personnel suffering from tuberculosis and continued to serve the veteran community until its closure in 1994.

Europa on Alma by Bolton Clarke

Our name Bolton Clarke honours two key community leaders from our past whose values have shaped our organisation and still drive its purpose today.

William Bolton, a Lieutenant Colonel at Gallipoli and Cape Helles, was the first president of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League (later to become RSL) in 1916. He saw an urgent need and responded by providing support and rehabilitation for those who had served their nation so selflessly.

Lady Janet Clarke was a much-loved philanthropist who used her means and influence to improve the lives of those less fortunate in the rapidly expanding city of Melbourne. In 1889 she became president of the Melbourne District Nursing Society, a forerunner of the Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS), and remained a driving force in over two decades of service.

Our name reminds us of a combined 200 years of experience, and the energy and passion that continues to inspire and guide our work today.
