The magic of Christmas has arrived at Monash Children's Hospital with the unveiling of a stunning 6-metre-tall Christmas tree in the foyer.

A Christmas sing-along followed, led by 15-year-old high school student, Tallulah O’Hara. Children were also able to write and post a letter to Santa in the North Pole. 9News captured the fun and excitement of the occasion.

The magnificent tree was assembled by 11 of Santa’s helpers overnight.

It’s been a passion at Monash Children’s Hospital to get a grand tree to fill the beautiful space of the foyer, and this year we have been successful with getting four key donors on board Dani Smith, General Manager and Director of Nursing at Monash Children’s Hospital.

Thank you to our amazing Monash Health Foundation supporters – Community Bank Dingley Village, Moose Toys, Dovecote Design Co, and the Order of the Eastern Star Grand Chapter of Victoria – for helping bring the spirit of Christmas to our hospital.
