...for better health and wellbeing for our community.

Together with our generous supporters, we fight for better health and wellbeing through life-changing medical research and improved healthcare.

We have a proud 56 year history in South Australia. We started as The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Research Foundation in 1965, supporting a single hospital and research institute. Now in addition to TQEH, we support research and patient care initiatives across ALL public hospitals, universities and medical research centres in South Australia!
