Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation
Victoria
The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation, Melbourne gives everyone a chance to care for the sick children of Victoria.
Our supporters share the same level of passion and dedication as our hospital staff, and a commitment to improving health-related outcomes for all children and families. It's the generosity of the community that bridges the gap between government funding and the world-class standard of healthcare the hospital provides.
Part of the Foundation's role is to direct this generosity to where it is most needed. By supporting pioneering research, excellence in leadership and training, progressive technology and the highest standard of care, the Foundation helps the RCH to develop ever-better paediatric health care and add to the medical knowledge base worldwide.
The Foundation needs help to provide world-class treatment for children now and into the future. Donations support four key areas:
Research
The Foundation has a strong commitment to research to ensure that the RCH campus is the premier site for paediatric research in Victoria, and an international leader in tackling some of the world’s biggest child health issues.
Leadership and Training
The Foundation will provide funding for academic leadership, scholarships and the fostering of academic excellence, as well as develop talent through education programs.
Technology and Equipment
The Foundation supports the purchase of life-changing and life-saving equipment used in clinical care and surgical procedures, to help the RCH enhance the quality of health care provided to all patients.
Patient and Family Centred Care
The Foundation supports the hospital in using and developing innovative models of care, not only for the child but for the whole family.
