The Destitute Asylums (usually known as Benevolent Asylums or Infirmaries for the destitute) were institutions established throughout the colonies of Australia in the 19th century to house deserted and destitute men, women and children not able to support themselves. Low employment prospects, poor conditions in the sleeping quarters and the adjoining workhouse and few hopes of finding a husband or some means of support made for a terrible and prolonged experience behind the walls of the asylum. ==Benevolent Asylums and Infirmaries in Australia== *New South Wales * *''Sydney Infirmary and Dispensary'',〔(History of Sydney Benevolent Asylum )〕 now Sydney Hospital *Victoria * *''Melbourne Benevolent Asylum'' now Kingston Centre〔(Melbourne Benevolent Asylum History ) Accessed 1/9/08〕 * *''Victorian Benevolent Hospital/Asylum'', later known as Mount Royal (closed) * *''Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum''〔(Index to the Admission books ) - Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum.
