Children's Hospital Foundation

We exist for every kid that ever needs us, no matter who, where or when. All illnesses, injuries and conditions - today, tomorrow and for every future generation. Our volunteer community supports families in the toughest of times – with a helping hand, a knowing smile or a welcome distraction. We have a selection of volunteer roles designed to bring you face-to-face with precious moments in one of the world’s best paediatric hospitals. Over one hundred volunteers work across the Queensland Children’s Hospital and Ellen Barron Family Centre – helping parents find their way to an appointment, providing a shoulder of support or entertaining kids at the bedside. Your gift of time makes all the difference to sick kids and their families. Putting a smile on the face of a sick child and bringing some fun and joy into their life is an incredibly rewarding experience for all our volunteers.
