The Wesley Hospital is one of the largest private hospital's in Queensland with 524 beds. The paediatric ward has 24 beds offering private rooms with enquires, which are large enough to accommodate parents who wish to stay with their children.
The Wesley Hospital would like to do up a paved courtyard located next to the paediatric ward so that it is more inviting for children and their families. They would like to create a sitting area for families to enjoy the fresh air and a play area which the children can retreat to.
