Wanslea Family Services is a uniquely Western Australian, not-for-profit organisation that was founded over 
sixty years ago by Florence Hummerston, a well known Perth identity whose life was one of service to the community. In 1941, Florence became the Founding President of the Women’s Australian National Service (WANS) War Fund and was also instrumental in the establishment of Wanslea two years later.
During the war years, the WANS provided care for children whose mothers were ill and whose fathers were overseas with the war effort. At the end of the war, the women continued to offer a service that cared for children in need.
Over the years, Wanslea has touched the lives of thousands of West Australians in times of family need, resulting in significant good will and respect for the organisation.
Wanslea today still cares for families and children through the many programs offered over its locations.
