The strength of The Royal Children's Hospital lies in our staff. We have 4000 members of staff performing a variety of different tasks but we have the one reason for giving our best - we're here for the kids.

Our philosophies of care guide the way we interact with patients and families. 

• Child focused and family centred care
• Respect for children
• Coordinated care
• Building partnerships

Our hospital's values form the basis of the way we all work together at the RCH

• Unity: We work together to achieve our goals
• Integrity: We act with honesty in all we do
• Excellence: We strive for the highest quality in every aspect of our work
• Respect: For everyone in our care and for each other

Every day, we see these values in action in our colleagues who aim to provide the level of excellent care we expect to deliver at the RCH. We aim to recognize and acknowledge staff as individuals or teams in a variety of ways that are meaningful. 

On behalf of the executive I thank each of you for your dedication to our patients and their families.  The recognition program is intended to acknowledge your contribution that goes beyond expectations.
