Where Angels Fear To Tread Book Launch

This inspirational book shows how, over three years in the 1970s, a handful of determined people revolutionised the way hospitals treat the children in their care. It is a part of Australia’s history that deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

Dame Quentin Bryce

Why is Dame Quentin Bryce launching a book about fighting for children's health care? Because she was part of the fight.

In 1973, a small group of parents and health professionals set out to overturn the inhumane and rigid treatment children received in hospitals around the country. To do this, they formed the Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital (AWCH), and their vision was to put the welfare of the child at the centre of every decision that was made about them: and they succeeded!

Come join us at the State Library of New South Wales for an exciting evening celebrating the release of this inspiring new book. Meet the author, hear Dame Quentin speak, and enjoy some light refreshments as we explore the difference a small group of highly motivated people can make to the world.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of a special event that promises to be both entertaining and enlightening. See you there!
