About The Hospital Research Foundation Group Giving Day

Disease doesn’t discriminate and chances are, it has already touched your life or someone you love.
• Around 50,000 Australians die from cancer each year
• 1 Australian dies from heart disease every 12 minutes
• More than 100 Australians have a stroke every day
• 1 in 10 Australians live with chronic kidney disease
• 43% of Australians experience mental health challenges in their lifetime
• Nearly 4 million Australians live with arthritis
These aren’t just statistics. They’re our parents, children, friends, and colleagues.
Right now, the need for better treatments, earlier diagnoses, and ultimately cures has never been greater.
Your donation this Giving Day helps fund the research breakthroughs that will change and save lives.

About Giving Day

Giving Day is your chance to create real, life-changing impact in just one day.

For 12 hours only (9am–9pm, Thursday 11 June), every donation will be matched dollar for dollar by generous corporate partners and major donors, which means your gift goes twice as far.

Your support will fund life-changing medical research and improve patient care across more than 60 areas of disease and illness, helping more Australians experience the moments that matter—like watching children grow, sharing time with loved ones, and living healthier, longer lives.

Act now with a kind tax-time donation and double your impact.

Why your support matters

If you donate on or before Thursday, 11 June 2026, your donation to The Hospital Research Foundation Group will be doubled to help fund life-changing medical research and patient care across 60 areas of disease and illness.

Because when you give, you’re not just funding research.
You’re helping protect the everyday moments that matter most.

  • A laugh with family.
  • A quiet moment of relief.
  • Watching a child grow up healthy.

These moments can be taken away in an instant by disease or illness. Your support helps give them back.

How your gift makes a difference

Together, The Hospital Research Foundation Group’s 11 charities are working across 60 areas of disease and illness, from cancer and stroke to mental health and chronic conditions.

When you give, you can:

  • Support a cause close to your heart
  • fund life-changing research and improved patient care
  • Help deliver real outcomes for Australians right now

Every dollar you give goes where it’s intended and needed most. Our running costs are covered by our commercial business activities (like our life-changing Home Lottery in SA), which means 100% of your kind donation funds life-changing research and patient care services.
