Our student cohort is unique and ever-changing, with students joining us for classroom or ward-based teaching either as admitted patients of the Queensland Children's Hospital, as siblings of patients, or as children of parents receiving treatment at an adult hospital. The criteria for student registration eligibility is outlined below.
Students are eligible to attend a hospital education program if they are currently enrolled in a school (may be a state or non-state school) and are medically cleared by hospital staff to attend the program, and where:
Patients of the Queensland Children’s Hospital typically receive teaching in their ward, or attend classrooms as arranged in consultation with clinical staff and school liaison teachers. Siblings of QCH patients attend the classrooms, as do children of adult patients who are receiving treatment in local adult hospitals (e.g. Royal Brisbane, Mater Mothers'). Students include patients of the Child Youth Mental Health Services, and inpatients admitted through the Emergency Department for diagnostic clarification/medical review.
