These are the first national standards to specifically consider the health care needs of children and adolescents and to address the co-location of children and adolescents with adult patients in health care settings. The Standards were collaboratively developed under the auspices of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and are endorsed by the Association for the Wellbeing of Children in Healthcare, Children’s Hospitals Australasia and the Australian College of Children and Young People’s Nurses.
The Standards and associated RACP policy are available on the RACP website (http://www.racp.edu.au/page/policy-and-advocacy/paediatrics-and-child-health).
