The George Gregan Foundation playground at the Royal Children's Hospital, Brisbane was officially opened in September 2008.

The playground includes wonderful life like sculptures of animals including a five metre crocodile called 'Sweetheart'. Brightly coloured swings, slides and interactive equipment are designed to delight and entertain not only the kids in hospital, but also their siblings and other visitors.

This playground is a scaled down version of the original plans due to the fact that the Royal Children's Hospital Brisbane will close in the near future. A full scale, all access playground will be built in the grounds of the new Queensland Children's Hospital and will include all the equipment originally planned for the Royal Children's Hospital.

The George Gregan Epilepsy Fellowship - Brisbane

The Foundation has funded a Fellowship in Neurology at the Mater Children's and Royal Children's Hospitals in Brisbane since 2009. The role of the Fellow is to support the clinical care of children with epilepsy at both hospitals, in the inpatient and outpatient settings. This is seen as a great investment in improving the treatment and results for children and their families.

The 2010 Epilepsy Fellow is Dr Harry Singh. Dr Singh is supporting the care of children with epilepsy at both the Royal and Mater Children's Hospitals, both inpatients and outpatients. He is working on a new exciting project to bring high quality education about paediatric epilepsy to all health professionals caring for children with epilepsy throughout Queensland. Dr Singh is also working on a project looking at misdiagnosis of epilepsy through an audit of new epilepsy referrals at both Children's Hospitals.

The 2009 George Gregan Epilepsy Fellow, Dr Damian Clark is now working at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne in Paediatric Neurology.
