Support that sizzles!
The Canberra Hospital Foundation Charity BBQ will be back again soon - thank you for your understanding during the COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. In the meantime, we are looking for special volunteers. Could it be you?
Outside of COVID restrictions, the BBQ runs every Thursday, serving breakfast and lunch to healthcare workers, patients, and visiting families at the main entrance of Canberra Hospital.
The BBQ has become quite the institution at Canberra Hospital, and COVID-permitting, it runs rain, hail, or shine.
Staffed by the BBQ Manager and a team of wonderful volunteers, the BBQ sells simple, quality foods, sourced through local Canberra businesses.

Funds raised through the BBQ support patients throughout all areas of Canberra Health Services enabling initiatives in the following areas:
Equipment
State-of-the-art technology and equipment enables streamlined workflow for health professionals and helps to decrease the distress experienced by patients and their families and caregivers.
Research
Research of high quality, including discovery research and research aimed at improving everyday patient care, patient wellbeing, and health outcomes.
Transformations
Refurbishments of away-from-bed spaces transform the hospital experience. Bright artwork, cosy furniture, and inviting decor make spaces feel less clinical, offering respite and distraction for patients and their families.
Programs
Therapeutic programs ensure patients' healing is holistic - taking into consideration mental and emotional wellbeing as a crucial aspect of the journey. The range of different programs offer outlets for relaxation, stimulation, creativity and companionship.
