[edit] Name and relocation

It was originally located in Camperdown, but was relocated in the mid-1990s to better service the growing populations of western Sydney. This relocation is reflected in the corporate name – initially "The New Children's Hospital" and currently "The Children's Hospital at Westmead". The official name of the hospital remains the "Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children".
