About BoysTown

BoysTown was a child welfare school and institution located in Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia. It was open from 1961 until 2001, and operated by the De La Salle Brothers, a Catholic organisation. There were allegations, later proved, of physical and sexual child abuse, reported in 2020 as the largest case at a single institution in Australia's history. Two former BoysTown staff were convicted of child sex offences committed at the institution, and the De La Salle Brothers paid over A$27 million in compensation to 219 victims of abuse. Following the closure of the institution, BoysTown continued to operate as a charity, and rebranded as yourtown in 2016.
