Case 2 - The Royal Hospital

The Royal Newcastle Hospital is one of the chief sources of pride in this community. An extensive new building to serve the needs of the growing town. It has also attracted some of the foremost medical minds in the state and is forging a name for innovation.  It is exactly the place those with injury or recovering from harrowing experiences require. Anyone would be fortunate indeed if, in need of care, respite could be found within its walls.  Of course, the excellent location of care for the psychological needs of the city is only a block away.

Fort Scratchley, another constant reminder of the city's colonial past, stands stoic guard over the harbour.  A hub of industry, business and transport, the centre of Newcastle is always crowded with people.  But not all enjoy the same opportu...
