Our Kids

Our Kids raises awareness and much needed funds to purchase paediatric equipment for Children's Ward, Special Care Nursery, the Women's Care Unit and the Accident & Emergency Department at the Lismore Base Hospital and the surrounding hospital within the Northern Rivers Region.

The equipment Our Kids purchases helps us to improve medical care for children in our local hospitals and help reduce our little ones being transferred to Brisbane and Sydney for medical care that we can provide locally.

We also administer annual Community Grants through the Richmond Valley Children's Health Foundation. Grants are available to children's health services within hospitals and community health organisations, to health professionals, special groups for chronically ill children, together with parents and guardians of children who live within the Northern Rivers.

Our Kids provides governance over the Dorothy Edwards Trust Fund which awards an annual "Midwife of the Year" Award and a Continual Education Scholarship for Midwives.

In the last 16 years, Our Kids has, through your donations, purchased $1.3 Million worth of equipment for our hospitals to help keep our kids local when needing medical care.
