From 1 September 2021, The Hospital Research Foundation (THRF) Group has focused on funding and supporting palliative care on a statewide, collaborative basis which is reflected in a new charity extension called The Hospital Research Foundation Group – Palliative Care.

This exciting charity merger will improve and strengthen the provision of palliative care essential services, education and increase vital research.

We are a source of collaboration with and financial support to Southern Adelaide Palliative Services (SAPS), Central Adelaide Palliative Care Service (CAPCS), Northern Adelaide Palliative Service (NAPS), Women’s and Children’s Paediatric Palliative Care and Regional Palliative Care services.

Additionally we have committed $2.25m to establishing an innovative and transformational statewide palliative care research program, aiming to improve access to palliative care for vulnerable communities within South Australia.

People who live with a life-limiting or terminal illness are experts by experience – they know what they need. Together we can use this knowledge to make a positive difference in many ways, for all South Australians.

This could be increasing palliative care awareness through fundraising events or engaging with your local community. Alternatively by generously donating, increases our support and expansion of palliative care services, education and much-needed research. Every little bit does help.

We strongly believe that when we work with you, we do make a difference!
