We connect our community’s generosity with our shared vision of creating exceptional health care together.
Almost every person, at some point in their life, needs public healthcare. Donations made to Canberra Hospital Foundation support patients at any age, for any illness or treatment.
Our small team works tirelessly to ensure donations and in kind support will positively impact patients and families in the wider Canberra region who need treatment at Canberra Health Services public hospitals, health care centres or walk in centres.
"It's our way of saying thank you to the healthcare teams who have done so much for our community these last few years." James & Amanda, ACT
Programs
Help fund a stress relieving therapeutic program, like the Therapy Dogs Program for patients and healthcare teams...
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.
Equipment
Help fund specialty equipment that assists our healthcare teams to deliver exceptional patient care for every patient... everyday!
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
Help fund clinical trials and medical research for the Canberra region, to save patients and families travelling interstate...
Research of high quality, including discovery research and research aimed at improving everyday patient care, patient wellbeing, and health outcomes.
Transformations
Help fund refurbishments to make hospital feel more like home, including uplifting art, comfortable chairs and calming courtyards.
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.
