Supporting Hospital Staff

Conference and Professional Development Grants
At the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation, every team member plays a vital role in helping us achieve our goal of delivering quality health care close to home. In return, we offer a collaborative, fulfilling work environment and opportunities for a rewarding career.
To this end, we work closely with the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service and the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service to provide grants and fund projects to the tune of $350,000 a year that will hopefully benefit you as a member of their incredible staff.
It’s a brilliant way to say ‘thank you’, and to support those who have cared for so many Far North Queenslanders.
We can also support your efforts to raise money for your ward or department by sponsoring an event. Of course, there are plenty of ways you can support us too, which is always appreciated. Just click on the links below for more information.
“As the Midwifery and Nursing Director of the Women’s Service at Cairns Hospital, I am so grateful for the impact our partnership with the Foundation has had on the lives of our women, their families and our staff. Thanks to the Foundation’s generous support, we have been able to create a dedicated pregnancy loss room, providing a compassionate and private space for families during an incredibly difficult time.
Additionally, they have funded an art project which has brought beauty and comfort to our service, transforming walls into spaces that welcome our women.
The educational equipment they have supplied to our midwives and doctors has been invaluable in insuring that our team is equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to provide the highest level of care.
We love our Foundation, we love how they work with us, we love the wonderful volunteers they send to us on a daily basis to provide the broadest range of services. I can’t really imagine how our service could function without the never ending support of our fabulous Foundation.”
