Children's Hospital Foundation
We’re here to be the difference that makes it better, and the difference that makes them stronger.
Watch the difference you make
Children’s Hospital Foundation funds cutting-edge equipment, vital research and on the ground support for kids with all illnesses, injuries and conditions.
We identify and action gaps in funding and support right across the kids’ health landscape – the places left lacking but no less deserving.
Across Queensland and into northern NSW, from the suburbs to the cities, rural, regional and remote, we help all kids not just some, the many not the few.
This video was filmed over two and a half days at the Queensland Children’s Hospital and captures the strength of sick and injured kids and their families.
We’re here to be the difference they need, and the difference they want.

On the ground support
We operate on the ground - in the wards, waiting rooms and research centres, connected to the doctors, nurses and heath professionals, the ones caring, supporting and treating sick, ill and injured kids every hour of every day.
Giving families hope
Childhood illnesses take away many things, but the loss they feel the most is time. Time that should be spent with family and friends, at school, at home, out in the world. We can’t give them back the days they’ve lost, but the faster we act, the more childhoods we can save.
The difference every kid deserves
Join us to create a future where gaps in funding grow smaller, not bigger, where more lives are saved, more lifetimes are made and world-class is for all, not just for some.
