Celebrating 21 years of extraordinary support from Kids with Cancer Foundation

For more than two decades, Kids with Cancer Foundation has stood with Monash Children’s Hospital as a true founding partner – helping to provide care, support and hope to families facing a cancer diagnosis at every step of their journey.

The generosity of the Kids with Cancer Foundation has helped ensure that families at Monash Children’s Cancer Centre receive more than just medical treatment, funding clinical roles, research, and providing financial support when families need it most.

‘Every day, Kids with Cancer Foundation’s generosity makes a difference in the lives of our patients, their families, and our care teams at Monash Children’s Cancer Centre,’ Dr Michelle Martin, Director of Paediatric Oncology at Monash Children’s Cancer Centre.

‘They have always been dedicated to understanding the everyday needs of families facing cancer and the ways they can support our service to make a very real and meaningful difference.’

Since 2004, Kids with Cancer Foundation has contributed over $5 million in funding and future commitments. An extraordinary achievement, enabling us to transform the care we provide to our patients.

‘By funding the vital roles of a Clinical Research Nurse, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Neuropsychologist and Social Worker, our care teams can focus not only on treatment but on supporting the whole family and their lives outside of the hospital too.’
