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.

This World Duchenne Awareness Day, your support is helping bring emerging treatments closer to children living with rare diseases.

At The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, a world-first international clinical trial is exploring whether a single dose of gene therapy could target Duchenne at its root cause by replacing the faulty gene responsible for the condition.

DMD is a rare and life-limiting genetic condition that almost exclusively affects boys, causing progressive muscle weakness, with almost all needing a wheelchair by the age of 12.

Supported through the Kids Advanced Therapeutics (KAT) program, the trial is helping bring cutting-edge treatments to children while building the expertise needed to deliver advanced therapies in paediatric care.

Your support of Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation is helping experts continue exploring what’s possible for children with rare and complex conditions.

Just weeks after celebrating his second birthday, Teddy’s world changed. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, turning days of swimming, family celebrations and toddler mischief into hospital visits.

Alongside Teddy’s doctors, nurses and child life therapists, an innovative clinical trial supported by Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation gave him access to treatment that was less toxic and more effective.

After 24 months of treatment, Teddy reached an incredible milestone: ringing the bell to mark the end of his treatment.

Sadly, three children in Australia still die from cancer every week. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re sharing Teddy’s story to highlight the importance of research and clinical trials in giving more children the chance to reach milestones like this.

Your support helps fund research, clinical trials and care that give children facing cancer hope for a brighter future.

When Bec was just four years old, her mum noticed something was wrong, as she was constantly tired, struggling to eat. After three months of tests and uncertainty, Bec was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

Bec was referred to the Inflammatory Bowel Disease clinic at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead where her treatment journey began.

Thanks to SCHF donor funding, the clinic has become a wraparound service where patients have access to specialist clinicians, dieticians and psychologists to support their wellbeing.

After a challenging treatment journey, Bec has grown stronger and is back doing the things she loves, including soccer, football and gymnastics.

Today, she visits the Hospital every few weeks for an infusion to keep her well.

Thank you to our generous donors for supporting care that helps children like Bec manage complex conditions and get back to being kids. 💙

For children living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can affect far more than their physical health. Chronic symptoms can impact growth, mental health, school and everyday life.

Thanks to philanthropic funding through Sydney Sick Kids Fund, the IBD clinic at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead has expanded its multidisciplinary team to include a clinical psychologist, dietitian, pharmacist and additional clinical nurse specialist.

Together, this team is helping children receive more holistic care in one place, with support that addresses not only their symptoms, but their nutrition, mental health, development and wellbeing.

Every child deserves care that looks at the whole picture. Your support of Sydney Sick Kids Fund is helping make that possible for children living with IBD.

When Chloe was born with a serious heart defect, her parents were told she might not survive. She spent her first five weeks fighting for her life at the Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, and went on to have four open-heart surgeries before the age of five.

At three, Chloe also lost her hearing, but that didn’t stop her from discovering a love of horse riding. After starting lessons, her natural talent and determination quickly became clear.

Today, Chloe is a decorated dressage rider who has represented Australia at the Virtus World Championships, and is pursuing a place in the Paralympic team for 2028.

“Being deaf doesn’t hold me back,” says Chloe. “It just means I have to practice a little more than other riders.”

From spending her childhood in hospital to competing on the world stage, Chloe’s journey is a powerful reminder of what children can achieve with the right care and support.

Thank you to our generous donors for helping give children like Chloe the best possible start, and the opportunity to pursue extraordinary futures. 💙

When a child is seriously unwell, families shouldn't have to worry about where they'll sleep that night.

For families travelling hours, or flying in altogether, from regional and rural areas to receive specialist care, finding somewhere affordable to stay can add another layer of stress during an already difficult time.

The SCHF Patient Family Accommodation Program exists to ease that burden. Thanks entirely to the generosity of donors, it provides 42 fully furnished apartments at no cost to families with a child receiving care through the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, located just minutes from Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick.

This initiative is only possible through philanthropy. Every family who stays here, does so because generous donors have helped make this support possible.

You can support this initiative through donating to SCHF here: https://brnw.ch/21x5bew

Today, we’re celebrating 40 years of Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation and the community that has helped make a difference for sick kids. 💜

Together, we’ve helped fund lifesaving equipment and groundbreaking research, and have supported children and their families on some of their hardest days.

Behind every milestone and moment of care are the people who have supported us along the way, year after year.

So today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate what we’ve achieved together and, most importantly, to say thank you.

Thank you for being part of our story and helping give sick kids the very best chance at a better future.
