Highlights of the RCH150 program

9 September 2021

RCH Anniversary RCH Foundation

The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) first opened its doors on 9 September 1870, a milestone we have celebrated with the RCH150 Program. From humble beginnings with only six beds, today the RCH is a world-leading children’s hospital and continues to provide exceptional care to thousands of sick children and their families.

To celebrate another year of supporting sick children, we’re taking a look back at some of the highlights of the RCH150 Program so far.

Please note that some events were delivered prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
