The Children's Hospital at Westmead, officially the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, is a children's hospital in Sydney, Australia.
It is located on Hawkesbury Road in Westmead and is affiliated with the University of Sydney.
[edit] Name and relocation
It was originally located in Camperdown, but was relocated in the mid-1990s to better service the growing populations of western Sydney. This relocation is reflected in the corporate name – initially "The New Children's Hospital" and currently "The Children's Hospital at Westmead". The official name of the hospital remains the "Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children".
The New South Wales Centre for the Advancement of Adolescent Health (NSW CAAH) is located at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead. The Centre seeks to improve the health and well-being of young people aged 12 – 24 in NSW, Australia.
