Opened in 1887 by the Victorian government, Kew Cottages stands as Australia's first and largest specialised institution for people with intellectual disability. Over its 121-year history, Kew Cottages often struggled to provide a high level of care for its residents. Persistent overcrowding, inadequate funding, and government and public apathy resulted in many residents enduring lives of hardship and neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBye-Bye Charlie\u003c\/em\u003e offers a rare glimpse into the world of Kew Cottages.
