Perth Children's Hospital Foundation (PCHF) | Greenspace Project - Connect to Culture

About the Greenspace
pchf.org.au/gr...
Located at the northern end of Perth Children’s Hospital, the Greenspace grassed area will be transformed into an immersive, natural environment for all users of the QEII Medical Centre (QEIIMC) campus to enjoy. Patients, families and staff will be able to get closer to nature and its healing benefits.
Hospitals can be daunting, clinical environments and the upgraded Greenspace will provide an escape from the pressures of medical treatment and appointments. Patients, their siblings and families will have a space to be together away from the hospital setting whilst remaining close to the care they require.
Sitting on Noongar land, the upgraded Greenspace will incorporate traditional and contemporary cultural themes and Dreamtime stories, creating a rich, experiential space to cultivate wellbeing. It will provide much-needed respite for patients - particularly frequent and long-term patients and families - and opportunities for play, learning and discovery. Staff will be able to enjoy the benefits of being closer to nature during their breaks.
The Greenspace Upgrade project has been made possible through partnership with Rio Tinto, Hassell, BGIS, Soft Earth Noongar Cultural Partners and the QEII Medical Centre Trust.
