About Allowah

Allowah Children’s Hospital has been providing specialty care and support for kids with complex disabilities and medical needs for almost 70 years. We provide Paediatric disability support services, hospital care, respite/short term accommodation and Allied Health therapies such as Occupational Therapy, Dietetics, Speech Therapy and Physiotherapy.

Allowah Presbyterian Children’s Hospital is a fully accredited and licensed hospital and an NDIS registered disability support provider. Located in a modern, bright and light facility in Dundas Valley, Sydney, NSW. We support children and young people up to the age of eighteen who have physical and intellectual disabilities such as genetic or chromosomal disorders, birth trauma, cerebral palsy, head injuries, and conditions acquired after birth.

The children we support live with complex disabilities and medical needs and often require a high level of medical care. The transdisciplinary approach to the provision of support through Allowah Disability Support Services is key. Allowah has the staff, facilities and expertise that gives parents and carers peace-of-mind and the support they need. 

Our staff are exceptional in the way they care for the children. Our child-centred approach provides children and their carers with respect, dignity, emotional and spiritual support within a Christian environment in a way that maximises quality of life. We welcome children and families from all faiths, denominations and backgrounds.

Our Values

The values of Allowah are grounded in the Christian faith, acknowledging that the Lord our God is one, and that we should love him with all our souls and with all our minds and with all our strength (Mark 12:29,30). Our values shape what we do every day. But what does that look like?

Compassion
We will:
  • Show generous care to children and families.
  • Provide practical assistance in a kind and gentle manner.
  • Meet the needs of others as soon as we can.
  • Not rush our services to meet deadlines that don’t put the child first.
  • Ensure we have time to care. (Col. 3:12, Mark 12:31)

We will:
  • Encourage the abilities of children.
  • Foster the potential of children to achieve to their capacity.
