About Us
Children’s Hospital Foundation funds cutting-edge equipment, vital research and on the ground support for kids with all illnesses, injuries and conditions, throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales. We identify and action gaps in funding and support right across the kids’ health landscape – the places left lacking but no less deserving.
Sometimes these gaps can appear small, filled by acts of kindness or compassion – a helping hand, a knowing smile or a place to play during a hospital stay. Other times they are large, bridged only by championing world-class care and treatment and breakthroughs in research and technology.
Regardless of the scale of the task we face, we task ourselves to face it. From the suburbs to the cities, rural, regional and remote, we help all kids, not just some. The many, not the few.
Here to be the difference every kid deserves.
