The Friends of Repat Garden of Reflection
A small and dedicated band of volunteers, the Friends of the Repat Hospital consistently rose to the occasion to support the service provided by the Repatriation General Hospital (RGH).
 
Since their formation in 1987, the extraordinary group donated over $750,000 to the RGH in equipment and amenities providing addition benefit to patients.
 
This garden not only acknowledges the many staff and volunteers who have been integral to the successul operation of RGH but the valuable contribution the `Friends` made to the hospital
