Our Patron
AWCH is extremely pleased to have Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, as our Patron.
As you will be aware, the Governor General has had a previous association with AWCH as its first national president and we are delighted that this connection has been renewed at a time when AWCH needs to continue to support and advocate for the improved health and wellbeing of infants, children, young people and their families.

AWCH attended the Youth Health2011 – It’s Totally Important Conference in November in Sydney.
The conference ran over 3 days and was a wonderful mix of professionals and young people coming together to discuss youth health.
AWCH jointly hosted a pre-conference workshop which had a morning session discussing the rights of young people in healthcare and the standards required to protect those rights followed in the afternoon with presentations and discussion about training and workforce development in adolescent healthcare.
