At The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), we are inspired daily by the achievements and contributions made by our staff, volunteers and community. Today, we look at the amazing contribution that volunteers have made to the RCH since our inception, and speak to current volunteers Phyllis and Amy who between them, have volunteered at the hospital for 60 years.
All staff, patients, families and members of the RCH community are invited to attend the RCH Open Access Board Meeting on Wednesday, February 26.
To commemorate 150 years of wonderful achievements, we are pleased to share with you our new archives and collections website.
