Good Friday Appeal 2026

Give for the kids!

I'm making a difference this Good Friday Appeal, and I need your support.

We all know firsthand the life-saving work of The Royal Children's Hospital. They provide world-class care to seriously sick kids, and my goal is to help them continue that mission.

Every dollar we raise has an impact. This is our chance to ensure thousands of children get the special care they need—this year, and in the future.

Please donate generously and help me reach my target. 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.

Alissa’s story

Tuesday 10th Mar
In July of 2022 my daughter Alissa was diagnosed with an incredibly rare disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. After 12 months of chemotherapy and a novel targeted therapy, Alissa now lives a pretty normal life. The expertise and facilities at Royal Children’s Hospital undoubtedly saved her life. We are asking for donations to the Good Friday Appeal to ensure the hospital can continue its programs and getting great outcomes for kids like Alissa.

Such a beautiful and incredibly strong girl! So relieved she received the care and support she needed! She truly is the perfect face for the appeal, inspiring children and families to keep overcoming even the toughest challenges. Honoured to contribute to such an important cause; the RCH was such a big part of my own childhood as well. Wishing Alissa continued health, happiness, and all the very best xx
