Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (PMH) was established in 1909 as the Perth Children's Hospital Inc on the corner of Thomas and Hay Streets in Subiaco. A children's ward at the Perth Public Hospital had opened in 1900 but the demands of a rapidly growing population led to the need for a dedicated children's hospital.
In 1949, the Perth Children's Hospital was renamed after Princess Margaret. Many children who were in out of home care were treated in the Perth Children's/Princess Margaret Hospital, and other children with intellectual disabilities or serious medical conditions sometimes lived there.
The Princess Margaret Hospital for Children closed on 10 June 2018 when the Perth Children's Hospital opened.
