Details (Known As) |
Magarey House |
Registered Name |
Magarey House |
Significance |
Magarey House on South Terrace, Adelaide is of heritage significance because of its association with the life and work of Dr Helen Mayo and the Mothers and Babies Health Association (MBHA) from 1938. Dr Helen Mayo, in partnership with Miss Harriet Stirling, founded the School for Mothers in 1909 which became the Mother and Babies Health Association (MBHA) in 1927. The principal role of the MBHA was to promote the education of the mother in all that concerns the physical, mental and moral development of herself and her offspring. In 1938 the MBHA moved to South Terrace establishing its infant welfare and training centre facility in Magarey House. The MBHA has provided a service to several generations of women and their babies at Magarey House for over 70 years. The MBHA has now become the Children Youth and Women's Health Service and they continue to occupy Magarey House. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
