As occupancy rates for Hennessy House have only been formally collected since July 1990, data for the period before July 1990 is not available.

The staff employed at Hennessy House for the above period have remained constant at 20 staff.
(11) The Capital Territory Health Commission Proposed Forward New Capital Works Program for 1983/84 - 1986/87 estimated the cost of establishing such a hostel at $1.6m.
