About Respiratory Medicine
The Department of Respiratory Medicine at RCH provides tertiary paediatric respiratory care, education, training and research and has led the world in the establishment of paediatric pulmonology as a distinct and important branch of medicine. Our aim is to provide a world class service to improve health outcomes for children and young people with respiratory diseases throughout Victoria. A clinical referral service is also provided to the children of southern New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia.
