Changing the landscape of children’s healthcare, for all kids, always.
Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation are committed to meeting the changing needs of sick kids and the shifting fundraising and philanthropic landscapes.
Providing care and treatment for sick kids is challenging, complex and expensive. Existing funding does not extend to cover the costs needed to reach the level of excellence these kids deserve, nor does it allow for the kind of groundbreaking research needed to make new discoveries and advancements in paediatric health.
Without the push to do more to address this shortfall, the inequity in Australian kids’ healthcare will deepen. Advancements will grind to a halt and innovations will come too late for those who need them.
Childhood is brief, the window of opportunity is short.
With your help we can we go all in, changing the landscape of children’s healthcare, for all kids, always.
Thank you for fighting for the health and wellbeing of all children in an ever-changing world. With your support, in 2023 we raised

for all sick kids, no matter where, no matter what.
