We are unique in Australia. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach to major childhood illnesses such as cerebral palsy childhood cancers and leukaemia asthma and spina bifida. This multidisciplinary approach is a key strength of our research programs. It also allows the Institute to offer a wide variety of research opportunities for postgraduate students. The Institute is closely associated with Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and the School of Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Western Australia. We are also affiliated with UWA through the Centre for Child Health Research and with the state s other four universities.
