Help Us Build The Regional Cancer Centre

Every day, up to 100 people walk through our oncology and haematology clinic doors, facing the fight of their lives. Right now, our facilities are stretched to the limit but with your help, we can change that.

As the need for cancer care grows in our community a new dedicated Regional Cancer Centre is now vital to the care and treatment of patients.

Together, we can make a big difference in the lives of patients and their families across the Darling Downs Health region. Your support helps us purchase essential medical equipment, enhance services, upgrade facilities, provide patient care programs, fund research, and train clinical staff.

With your help, we can improve the hospital experience for everyone across our hospitals and health service facilities.

Our Vision

To create genuine connections that unite our communities, Darling Downs Health, and the Foundation to meet the needs and enrich the environments of our hospitals, staff, and patients.

Our Impact

Connecting with our communities across the Darling Downs from as far west as Taroom and Wandoan to as south as Texas and Goondiwindi, we provide support to 29 hospitals and health service facilities.

Your Support

The funds we raise through the support you give is changing the lives of our patients. Whether it’s toys for sick kids, therapy dogs, a new ultrasound or operating theatre, 100% of your donations goes towards life-changing and life-saving resources.
