The Equipment Distribution Centre (EDC), located at the Royal Children's Hospital, provides medical equipment hire and sales for children in Melbourne.
The EDC provides a wide range of paediatric special needs and medical equipment hire, such as wheelchairs, crutches, breast pumps, car seats and port-a-cots. The EDC also sells a range of dermatology, continence, and medical equipment.
The EDC was established within the Royal Children's Hospital in 1990 to meet the equipment needs of children both in the short and long term. We are open to clients of the hospital and also to the wider community.
Staff will be happy to discuss our range of products with you over the phone or in person. Please feel free to view our catalogue for the range of products available.
To hire medical equipment please contact the EDC directly on 03 9345 5325. All equipment issued on a hire basis will require a deposit (refundable on return of equipment) and a hire fee, based on the time the item is required. We require payment at the time of equipment collection, and clients will need to complete a hire agreement prior to issue. In some instances a Therapist's recommendation may be required to ensure safe and correct fitting. Please contact the EDC for clarification.
EDC orders for sale items can be placed over the telephone, by fax or in person. Products and equipment can be collected directly from the EDC (using our easy pick-up area), posted or sent via courier.
The EDC is also a sub-agency for Diabetes Australia and the Victorian Children’s Ostomy Association. The Victorian Aids and Equipment Program is located adjacent to the EDC
