Our Current Project

ACT & Region

There is one current project for 2026 in the Canberra Region:   A laryngoscope. Portable video laryngoscopes improve safety, efficiency and success of newborn intubation. They support better outcomes for babies, provide reassurance to families and empower staff training and team-work skills making the video laryngoscopes a valuable addition to neonatal care. Cost $10,000 each. Two are requested. You can donate HERE

Central Gippsland

Thank you to all who have contributed to the special bed-side cots. The 3 we purchased have arrived and all 3 were in use on the first week.

The Maternity Unit at Sale Hospital would like 5 vital signs monitors, one for each room in maternity. They work out at about $15,000 each.
Vital signs monitors are critical, multifunctional devices used to continuously or intermittently track a patient’s physiological state, including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and temperature.
Please encourage your family, friends or your community club to make a tax deductible donation towards one of these monitors.
