About Gold Dinner

Gold Dinner is regarded as the most exclusive charity gala in Australia. Over the years, it has garnered the support of Sydney’s most influential business and community leaders, social elite and fashion set, raising nearly $60 million over the last 27 years for Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation.

Gold Dinner's contributions have significantly impacted major developments in the Hospital’s service, particularly respiratory services, the pain and palliative care service, critical care services and most recently, complex care.

It has helped increase the chance of diagnosis for patients with incredibly complex and rare conditions, empowering parents and providing them with peace of mind through support of the genomic revolution.
