The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne Annual Financial Report 2010 – 11 On the move 2011 Opening in late 2011, the new Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) will provide world class facilities befitting of our great hospital for children, families, visitors and staff. The move to and opening of the new hospital campus represents not only a milestone in the hospital’s history, but also in the history of paediatric care in this country and globally. Established in 1870, the hospital moved to its current site in Parkville in 1962 and was officially opened by Her Majesty, The Queen on February 26, 1963. With the building of our new hospital, we have taken the opportunity to create an environment that is uniquely designed for children and young people – creating spaces that are fun, stimulating and take healing beyond the bedside. The design reflects growing evidence of the importance of nature and environment to the healing process and there is an overwhelming sense of colour and light throughout the building, with beautiful artwork designed to appeal to and interest children of all ages. In the 48 years since the opening of this site there has been a significant expansion of not only the hospital’s clinical facilities but also teaching and research facilities, with our on-site campus partners, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and The University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics. Our expertise, leadership and reputation in paedatrics has grown, particularly in the treatment of childhood cancer, the surgery of congenital abnormalities, gastroenterology, cardiac surgery and epilepsy surgery. The RCH has touched the lives of children and families not just in this state but nationwide and internationally and in 2011, we join in celebration and recognition of our glorious past and with great excitement for the future. We are on the move....and it’s not long now!
