    New Home Equipment Centre

    Every year more than 1200 families rely on equipment from the Home Equipment Centre to enable their children to be cared for at home rather than in the Hospital.

    Thanks to the support of five WCH Foundation corporate donors; The Lott by SA Lotteries, Sodexo, Curing Homesickness, Coles, and the SA Power Networks Employee Foundation, the Centre has relocated to a refurbished and larger premise.

    The Beach House

    The WCH Foundation Laklinyeri Beach House, located within the picturesque Encounter Lakes in Victor Harbor, is South Australia’s first purpose-built holiday home for families with children with complex medical needs or in palliative care.

    Officially opened in July 2019, the Beach House is specifically designed, constructed and medically equipped, while the beautiful interiors, landscaping and sweeping views of the lake create a sense of calm and wellness.

    Families' stays are funded through donations made to the WCH Foundation.

    MELTDOWN MOMENTS!

    What parent doesn’t have them?

    And when they occur in families, the whole family can get swept up in the heat of the moment. Infants and small children in the family are central to the whole scene. They observe what has happened, they “feel” what has happened, and it may seem they “caused” what happened even though the bigger person knows it really isn’t that small child’s fault.

    This book is valuable to anyone living in a family with meltdowns and also to those working in educational settings who can use this book as a starting point for discussions about family emotions.

    Four little legends have worked together to raise Four little legends have worked together to raise money for the WCH Foundation!

Chester, Ernie, Jack and Harry sold glow sticks at their local street party in Prospect at the end of last year and raised over $100.

They chose our Foundation because they were passionate about helping sick kids. 

A big thank you to these mini fundraisers for giving back to those in need!

If you're interested in raising funds for the Foundation in 2021, message us on Instagram or email community@wchfoundation.org.au for more information on how you can get started.

    Our current Arts in Health photography exhibition Our current Arts in Health photography exhibition 'Stillness of Motion - Location Series' by Chris Herzfeld has kept up the energy in the Hospital over summer!

The exhibition features a selection of professional dancers striking poses in locations around the world including Adelaide's iconic beaches.

These impressive large format photographs are created using the technique “real in camera”. Chris doesn’t use Photoshop to manipulate the images, and the dancer's jump without the assistance of harnesses or ropes. The dancers jump and one image is taken. It usually doesn't take Chris or the dancer more than four attempts to capture the perfect shot.

    We recently installed a magical public artwork whi We recently installed a magical public artwork which was a result of a collaborative project with artist James Dodd where patients, visitors and Hospital staff worked together using a device called the 'Painting Mill' during our pARTy Week in September.

The colourful artwork can be found on Level 2, by the cafe towards Women’s Services, and celebrates 10 years of the WCH Foundation's Arts in Health program. 

The machine used to create the art is constructed from a range of common household objects such as a bicycle and cordless drills. 

James said, “I am intrigued by the ways in which people embrace inventiveness and adaptation. I often pursue projects within my visual arts practice that celebrate a sense of DIY and simple mechanics, looking for ways that they might become art. Amongst all of these things I am also interested in is inviting participation as a way for audiences to more deeply engage with the ideas that I am exploring.”

    Thank you to our friends at BIG W who put a smile Thank you to our friends at BIG W who put a smile on the faces of over 200 children in the Women's and Children's Hospital last week, including Ella (pictured), with a delivery of Big W Community Teddy Bears.

A Queensland teenager designed these cuddly bears, which are dressed in scrubs and a face mask, to commemorate all the hard work front-line health workers such as doctors and nurses have done to keep the community safe this year. 

The bears were sold in Big W stores across Australia with all profits donated to children’s hospital foundations.
