Formerly known as Curing Homesickness, Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation is proud to have partnered with seven other state-based children's hospitals, foundations and paediatric services to form a national platform dedicated to getting kids home from hospital sooner: Hospitals United for Sick Kids.

Hospitals United for Sick Kids is an innovation in the way corporates and for purpose organisations collaborate, working together to generate funds to invest into the advancement of children's healthcare across Australia.

It is a visionary model which has the mission to fund in-hospital, at-home or near-to-home research, therapies, programs and equipment to ensure sick kids spend more time at home and less time in hospital. This reduces the significant emotional,physical and financial burden of lengthy stays in hospital on sick kids and their families and enables kids to be treated in their own communities, close to home. 

Hospitals United for Sick Kids is unique, and delivers 'National Reach with Local Impact'. It can offer corporates with a national footprint a partnership that can deliver both profit and purpose through a flexible model (see examples here), with the additional benefit of directing funds raised nationally to areas of greatest need in any local state or territory.
