                    ​The RCH National Child Health Poll is a quarterly, nationally representative survey of Australian households that sheds new light on the big issues in contemporary child health – as told by parents.

                    The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne is the only hospital in Australia to conduct such research, moving beyond incidence reporting to uncover the beliefs and practices of parents and their knowledge gaps. 

                    By pinpointing these gaps, the RCH Poll gives health providers and policymakers practical information to inform health promotion and prevention, making a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of children and families across the nation.
