The hospital was purpose built, incorporating the latest evidence-based design principles, enabling us to provide and deliver the best possible care and services to the Western Australian community. 

PCH forms part of the Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) which also includes Neonatology, Community Health and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health services (CAMHS). CAHS treats children from around Western Australia and is committed to programs that promote lifelong health and wellbeing in children and young people.
