The Department of Paediatrics and Child Health is the principal centre for children’s medical and surgical services in the ACT. There is a large and energetic inpatient department for Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine and Surgery, with 44 beds. The outpatient department has been developed to reflect current out-patient models of care and gives trainees broad exposure to a range of general and subspecialty paediatrics, including paediatric endocrinology and respiratory and sleep medicine. Visiting subspecialists conduct clinics allowing for exposure to a broad range of other paediatric subspecialties including oncology/haematology, neurology, and cardiology. The department also provides an innovative teaching program for students from the Australian National University Medical School.

The Department of Paediatrics provides general paediatric services to approximately 450 in-patients and 1800 out-patients each month. The Department is staffed by staff specialists (12.5 FTE General Paediatrics, 1.4 FTE Endocrinology, 1 Gastroenterology and General Paediatrics, 0.5 Paediatric respiratory and general paediatrics), a general paediatric Senior Registrar, 12 Registrars and 10 SRMO/Residents. The Canberra Hospital has 44 in-patient paediatric beds (High Care, Medical, Adolescent and Surgical) and a busy 15 room outpatient department. It also has an 8 bed Hospital in the Home (HITH).
