The Royal Queensland Bush Children's Health Scheme (BUSHkids) was founded in 1935 by the Governor of Queensland, Sir Leslie Orme Wison, to meet the health needs of children living in bush communities. Children were sent to seaside holiday homes for a period of six weeks. During this time they received medical and dental treatment if required.
