The Paediatrics & Child Health Division (PCHD) Policy & Advocacy Committee was established by the College Policy and Advocacy Committee to contribute to the policy and advocacy issues in paediatrics and child health and act as the authoritative source of direction and advice within the College in regards to Paediatric and Community Child Health policy and advocacy.
The Committee develops, coordinates, implements and monitors the policy and advocacy projects as approved by the PCHD Council and responds to new and emerging policy and advocacy issues relevant to the PCHD as they arise.
