Royal Children's Hospital Age

The Royal Children's Hospital does indeed have some exceptions to the age restriction - such as in the case of people with a terminal illness or cystic fibrosis, but some programs which are only available through the Royal Children's Hospital are not available to people over 14, despite the lack of program in other hospitals.

To:  Hon Paul Lucas (MP), Minister for Queensland Health

Currently, the age restriction for in-patient admittance into the Royal Children’s Hospital is anyone under fourteen years old. A child in Australia is someone who under the age of eighteen, therefore the age of admittance into the Royal Children’s Hospital of Brisbane should be raised to eighteen with an adolescent wing to cater for those between the ages of fourteen and eighteen.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
