The Equipment Distribution Centre (EDC) was established within the Royal Children’s Hospital in 1990 to meet the equipment needs of children both in the short term and long term. The Centre provides a wide range of equipment for hire and products for sale.
We are open to both clients of the hospital and also to the wider community. Staff will be pleased to discuss our range of products with you either over the phone or in person. Please take a look at our catalogue for the range of products available.
For your convenience orders can be placed via the telephone, fax or in person. Products and equipment can be collected directly from the EDC (using our easy pick-up area), posted or sent via courier.
In the case of hire equipment you will need to contact the Centre direct. All equipment issued on a hire basis will comprise a deposit that is refundable on return of equipment and a hire fee that is based on the time the item is required. These fees are payable on collection and clients will need to complete a hire agreement prior to issue. In some instances a Therapist's recommendation may be required to ensure safe and correct fitting.
Also located within the EDC is a sub-agency for Diabetes Australia, the Aids and Equipment Program, and the Victorian Children’s Ostomy Association.
