Note Book:
Female Immigration
Although women and children are covered by the general legislation and included in immigration records as wives and families, they are rarely referred to specifically. For the purposes of this Guide, female immigration refers to the immigration of women who migrated alone in the period from 1901 to 1939, unaccompanied by either husbands or families.
Women, especially domestic servants who were much coveted owing to the high demand for them in Australia, were often sponsored by governments or voluntary organisations both in Australia and Great Britain. Non-government organisations included the Church of England Society for Empire Settlement, the Church of England Migration Council, the Church Army, the Domestic Immigration Society, the Society for the Overseas Settlement of British Women (SOSBW), and the Salvation Army. Female migration was conducted under special safeguards and conditions, often with a matron traveling with groups of single women. Great emphasis was placed upon their care, protection and control before, during and after their journey to Australia. Hostels were established in Great Britain for their training and accommodation before embarkation.
