1988-89 – FUNDING CHANGES
Commonwealth > Queensland
This timeline chart of the history of BUSHkids – the Royal Queensland Bush Children’s
Health Scheme – was prepared for the organisation’s 80th anniversary Annual Report
in 2015. Where exact dates are not noted in the text bars, and when the Scheme’s
Annual General Meetings – and, thus, changes in its Council’s executive ranks –
varied according to changes in the reporting period over the years, some ‘rounding’
in the depiction of start and transition dates may occur in this presentation; limitations
of space and data proximity may also prevent more precise representation of dates.
