about awch

 

The Australian Association for the Wellbeing of Children in Healthcare (AWCH) is a national, non-profit organisation of parents, professionals and community members who work together to ensure the emotional and social needs of children, adolescents and their families are recognised and met within hospitals and the health care system in Australia. We believe in:
  • access to quality healthcare for all children and young people

  • valuing the opinions of children, young people and their families in the delivery of healthcare

  • families playing a vital role supporting children and young people receiving healthcare

  • fostering partnerships between parents/carers and health care providers

  • the provision of culturally sensitive healthcare services

  • appropriate information and resources being readily accessible

  • challenging the status quo to advance our mission

AWCH tries to ensure a holistic family-oriented approach to the care of children, acknowledging that families are the main support and strength for children and young people when they are sick or have a chronic illness or condition.
