Australia’s children’s hospitals are among the best in the world. You don’t need to be treated there to benefit from many of their resources. Head to their websites to find fact sheets, research activities and links to support groups.
The Royal Children’s Hospital
Based in Melbourne, RCH was founded over 140 years ago. It is the major paediatric hospital treating children from Victoria, Tasmania and southern New South Wales.

healthdirect is funded by the governments of Australia and provides trusted health information and advice, online and over the phone (1800 022 222), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The website includes a directory of services so you can find your local children’s hospital, specialist service provider or support group.
