Overview

The Teddy Bear Hospital (TBH) is a student-led, student-run initiative established in 2009, involving volunteers from Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences courses at the University of Melbourne.

The program aims to provide children with positive health care experiences, promote health and wellbeing in a fun and interactive way, while providing future healthcare professionals the opportunity to improve communication skills with children. We run two major events throughout the year - Teddy Bear Hospital at the Good Friday Appeal - Kids Day Out and the Chadstone Winter Check Up as well as various community and school outreach programs.
