Résumé
We describe a complex change process for the paediatric cardiac service in Queensland that involved transitioning the service out of an essentially adult hospital into one of two children's hospitals in Brisbane. This initial step was complex as the governance was changed from Queensland Health to Mater Health, an independent faith-based organisation who became the new employer. Six years later, the service was again transitioned; this time to the newly constructed Queensland Children's Hospital, with a Hospital and Health Services Board as the employer under the aegis of Queensland Health. This was a complex journey. As with all change processes there was resistance to change on the part of some individuals. Five years on from the second major change, the service is settled, has an excellent workplace culture, has excellent clinical outcomes and has become research intensive.
