About us
One of the largest and most trusted kids’ health charities in the country, Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation exists to help provide all children with access to the best possible healthcare, whenever and wherever they need it.
We have been delivering on this promise since 1986, raising millions every year for Sydney Children's Hospitals Network - including Sydney's two children’s hospitals at Randwick and Westmead, specialised care services, and cutting edge paediatric research, operating across NSW.
A conduit, an enabler, and a mechanism for powerful change, we make sure funds raised go directly to the front line of children’s healthcare – from the hospital wards to the treatment rooms, the research labs to the outreach programs.
We truly believe there is no greater possible impact for a donated dollar in kids’ health.
We are an independent health promotion charity, registered with the Australian Taxation Office as an Item 1 Deductible Gift Recipient.
We are a company limited by guarantee, registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
We are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) and we are an approved holder of the Registered Charity Tick.
We are committed to ethical philanthropic practices. Read our ethical donation principles.
