Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation is changing the future for sick kids. We exist to promote charitable investment in the prevention and management of childhood illness, with a focus on kids and families receiving treatment or care in services provided by NSW’s network of children’s hospitals and paediatric health services. One of the largest and most trusted kid’s health charities in the country, with one foot at the front line and one in the future of kids’ health, we make sure funds raised go directly to support children’s healthcare - from the hospital wards to the treatment rooms, the research labs to the outreach programs - to help all sick kids, no matter where, no matter what.

SCHF has a vision to ensure that every child - now and in the future - can access world-class medical care whenever they need it. We support The Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, which incorporates Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Bear Cottage, the Newborn and Paediatric Emergency Transport Service, Kids Research and other vital children’s services.
