Hospital appeals for new equipment are not unusual, but in Albury-Wodonga on the Victoria-New South Wales border a fundraising appeal for a unique set of equipment has begun.
The Albury Wodonga Health Foundation and the Albury Wodonga Health Emergency Department have launched the Keeping Kids Calm Appeal to raise funds for virtual reality (VR) headsets that can help keep children calm and distracted when they visit the hospital.
They are hoping to be able to purchase Smileyscope VR headsets, which depict different natural scenes such as an ocean floor with fish and other aquatic life.
