The closer you get
the more you see.
Another record breaking
year on the frontline.
Our impact on the frontline.
As Western Australia emerged from the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic, the insights we gained about the incredible work of paediatric researchers, clinicians and nurses reaffirmed to us the critical importance of our work.
We are uniquely placed, working closely with those on the frontline of children’s healthcare, to identify the areas of greatest need and what is going to drive the most impact. This closeness has seen Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation again set a record in grant funding to Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) and the wider Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS).
2020-21 Financial Year.
Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation fuels the fight at the frontline of children’s healthcare.
For a quarter of a century, we have stood shoulder to shoulder with surgeons, clinicians, nurses, researchers, parents and patients, giving us an in-depth understanding of what’s needed to ensure that children in WA and across the world get well and stay well.
We are the official and largest funder of Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) and the wider Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) after Government, making us the 8th largest philanthropic foundation in WA. Thanks to the wonderful generosity of our donors, our total support in the past 25 years has been over $92 million with a further $21 million committed over the next five years.
With the help of our generous partners, our efforts enable PCH and CAHS to ensure that WA’s sick children and young people have access to world-class care that comes from:
Local to Global.
Our unique position on the frontline of children’s health allows us to get up close and see what’s really missing. This means that our funding goes to where it’s needed most making a real difference to the lives of sick children in WA and across the globe.
And this is what the future looks like.
