Good Friday Appeal 2026

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

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.

Giving Back to Those Who Gave Us So Much

Wednesday 25th Mar

This year, I’m taking part in something really special, and I wanted to share a little bit about why it means so much to me.

The Good Friday Appeal is an incredible cause that supports The Royal Children’s Hospital, helping provide life saving care, equipment, and research for kids and their families. But for me, this isn’t just something I’ve seen from the outside, it’s something that has personally impacted my family.

My nephew was born with a rare genetic condition, and because of that, he has spent a lot of time in and out of hospital. As you can imagine, those moments can be incredibly tough for both him and our whole family. During those times, the support, care, and dedication from the hospital staff have been nothing short of amazing.

This fundraiser is my way of saying thank you, to every nurse, doctor, and staff member who has cared for him and continues to support families just like ours every single day. The work they do truly changes lives.

To get involved, I’ll be participating in the Kids Fun Run this Sunday, and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of something that gives back in such a meaningful way. 🏃‍♀️

Every dollar raised goes towards helping kids receive the care they need, when they need it most. If you’re able to donate or support in any way, it would mean so much, not just to me, but to so many families who rely on this incredible hospital.
