What We Do
The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation is the fundraising arm of Queensland's Royal Children's Hospital. The Foundation raises around $13 million annually, and since inception in 1986 more than $100 million has been invested into working wonders for sick kids.
Every year, the Royal Children's Hospital treats more than 30,000 children from all over Queensland, as well as interstate and overseas. This adds up to more than 280,000 hospital visits every year.
As the major tertiary referral hospital for children in our state, our hospital is a home away from home for many families from regional and remote areas who require specialised care.
The Foundation funds groundbreaking medical research and equipment, to find faster diagnoses, better treatments and ultimately cures for childhood illnesses.
Funds also support services within the Royal Children's Hospital and wider Health Service District to ease the lives of sick kids and their anxious families every day.
Your support will help us to continue working wonders for sick kids.
