Adolescent ward at John Hunter. What does the redevelopment mean? When a young person reaches or is going through adolescence they are creating and defining their identity, trying to figure out who they are, the person they want to become. What appeals to an adolescent is not the same as what appeals to older generations, which is why this refurbishment will not only involve consultation with staff but also with the adolescents themselves.

Spaces that allow parents to stay overnight. Single rooms to accommodate adolescents.

Why should you run? Run Australia has joined forces with Wishlist, the Sunshine Coast Hospital Foundation to help grow the Child Development Service here on the Sunshine Coast. Growing the Child Development Service is a significant project and we are pleased to say that proceeds from the inaugural Run Sunshine Coast have already relocated the Service and enabled it to grow substantially to now be accommodating the needs of early school aged children with behavioural and developmental issues.

In the first year Run Australia matched this figure dollar for dollar. Just by getting involved in Run Townsville YOU are helping make a significant difference to young people in your community! .
