Good Friday Appeal 2026

Help me reach my goal of $49,999

Jakob's Day The Finale!

We are hosting our finale Jakob's Day in 2026. We want to finish on a high and hope you can join us to help crown what has been an amazing 20 years of generosity from so many people along the way.

Many people know first hand the life saving work of The Royal Children's Hospital. They provide world-class care to seriously sick kids. Our goal is to help them continue that mission.

Every dollar we raise has an impact. We hope that this year will be another stunning result and with your help it truly can be.

Please donate generously and help Jakob's Day make one last huge impact. 

Let's do something GOOD for the kids.

The Good Friday Appeal has been raising funds for sick kids and their families at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) for 95 years.

Through the generosity of the community, the RCH continues to deliver world‑class, comprehensive care.

Every dollar donated supports:

  • Ground‑breaking research
  • State‑of‑the‑art equipment
  • Training and unique patient‑centred care programs

In just one year (2024–2025), hundreds of thousands of kids were cared for:

  • 85,415 appointments for urgent and essential care in the Emergency Department
  • 53,450 admissions to a ward, where children and young people received expert, compassionate care
  • 15,106 surgeries, paving the way for brighter futures
  • An incredible 456,000 outpatients seen — that’s an average of 1,250 appointments a day

By supporting this fundraiser, you are part of the impact, helping children live their best possible lives.

Please help make a difference and share this page with your friends, families, and networks.

Thank you for giving for the kids.

with heart
