Children's Hospital Foundation

At the Children's Hospital Foundation, we help all kids that call Queensland home.

Every day, the sickest kids from all over Queensland, northern New South Wales and the Northern Territory come to Queensland Children's Hospital.

Their stories remind us that home is not just a place. It's a feeling of belonging, a feeling of warmth and a sense of care.

This tax time, your support helps us fund ground breaking research, innovative therapies, a library service, play spaces and toy drives, to help make hospital feel more like home for sick Queensland kids.

We’re here to be the difference that makes it better, and the difference that makes them stronger.

We’re here to be the difference they need, and the difference they want.

We’re here to be the difference that really matters.
