Visiting the Institute

Our phone number is 08 6319 1000. If you’re sending us postal communications, our PO Box remains our preferred mailing address (PO Box 855, West Perth, WA, 6872).

Perth Children’s Hospital is well serviced by public transport. There are several bus stops along Hospital Ave and Monash Ave, which border the QEII campus on which we are located. High frequency buses run from the city to the hospital campus via Thomas St.

The nearest train station to the hospital is Shenton Park, on the Fremantle line. Catch the 999 bus from Shenton Park Station to the Hospital Avenue QEII Medical Centre stop.

Visitors’ parking is available on the ground floor of the multi-level carpark opposite the northern entrance to the hospital, which is accessed via Winthrop Ave.

If you are travelling to Telethon Kids Institute, please be aware of the changing carparking arrangements at PCH. All visitors are required to enter via the Main Entrance and exit via the Northern Entrance.

As always, our Concierge desk is located to the right of the Northern Entrance, as you walk up from the Main Entrance. They will assist you in meeting your contact person and accessing our facility on Level 6 and 7 of the building.

You can visit us at the Discovery Centre, which is generously supported by Lotterywest.

Located on the ground floor of the building, the Telethon Kids Discovery Centre will be a fun and engaging educational space that teaches kids about science and health research, while also giving families a behind-the-scenes look at the types of research undertaken at Telethon Kids.

The Discovery Centre is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and is free to enter and play!

There are many ways to be involved in our research – as a participant in one of our studies, as a consumer helping to shape the research or as a fundraiser.
