With funding from Janie Butler, a philanthropist and eugenicist, the society quietly opened a clinic in Collins Street in February 1941. The facility provided patients with rubber pessaries and spermicidal jelly. As World War II continued, supplies of rubber dwindled. The clinic was obliged to close in September 1942 because pessaries had become unobtainable.Wallace's book, Women and Children First (1946), outlined a population policy for Australia.
