40 Years of Impact
Helping people to live healthier for longer through support of life changing research, equipment and patient care.
You can help shape
the next 40 years of care
Since 1986, The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation has contributed over $78 million to adult and paediatric healthcare across Queensland.
From our early days supporting The Prince Charles Hospital in Chermside – one of Australia’s leading cardiothoracic hospitals and home to one of Queensland’s busiest Emergency Departments – to supporting Caboolture Hospital, which serves a rapidly growing community, our focus has always been on helping people live healthier, longer lives.
As we mark our 40-year milestone in 2026, we recognise the community that has made this journey possible and invite you to help shape the next 40 years. Donate today to mark 40 years of impact – powering today, and reinventing tomorrow.
You have helped us advance care and support for 40 years
Funding from The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation has played a crucial role in many Queensland and Australian firsts, supporting breakthroughs in patient care and medical research, including:
Queensland’s first Child Life Therapy program in a public hospital emergency department.
An Australian public hospital first ‘village-like’ environment for patients impacted by dementia.
An Australian-first silicosis screening trial using breath samples.
