Sydney Chidlren's Hospital in Randwick or the Children's Hospital at Westmead would probably be the Sydney pick.
In London you would have to pick Great Ormond St Children's Hospital as being one of the best in the world.

I'll second Westmead as a good hospital - I did my training there many years ago, top notch facilities.
You'll also need to source out a good cardiothoracic surgeon - I wish I could be of more help, but it's been more than a decade since my medical student days, and I've gone on to specialize in a totally different field of practice.
Good luck!
