After almost 25 years of service, and no significant upgrade since Starship opened in 1991, Starship’s two general paediatric wards on Level 5 will be transformed into a well-designed environment better suited to optimising a young person’s recovery and wellbeing.

The Starship Spring Clean auctions on Trade Me close on 30 September.
