In 1985 the Seven Network axed the poorly rating soap Neighbours, but they were unaware that Network Ten, a rival television network, was in talks with the production team to air the soap on their network in 1986.

When Neighbours returned to television on Network Ten in 1986, it initially attracted low ratings. The Network worked hard to publicise Neighbours and their hard work was paid off when its popularity grew, by the end of 1987 it was attracting high ratings in Australia.

In late 1986, Network Seven's head of drama, Alan Bateman, was tasked with creating a pilot for a soap opera that was in no way a copy of Neighbours. Bateman soon found his inspiration when he stopped in Kangaroo Point, New South Wales on a family outing. Chatting to locals, Bateman discovered that the townspeople were angered over the construction of a home for foster children from the city. Seeing the degree of conflict the plan for the new youth centre had produced within the community, Bateman recognised the drama that could be generated by this situation and began to develop it as the basis for the new soap opera.
When the show piloted in 1988, it focused on Tom Fletcher and his wife, Pippa.They had four foster children, Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lyn Davenport and an adopted daughter, Sally Fletcher. They soon fostered Bobby Simpson, a local tearaway, much to the annoyance of Donald Fisher. They bought the caravan park and quickly built strong friendships with the locals, Ailsa Stewart, Alf Stewart and Neville and Floss McPhee.

Home and Away celebrated its twenty-first year in production with a celebration in Sydney on 23 July, 2009. Cast members were presented with the key to Palm Beach by the mayor of Sydney's Pittwater Council, where the show is filmed.
