Funding Opportunities

The Women's and Children's Health Network supports research activity within the organisation through a number of different avenues.

Generous support is given in the form of research project grants and a number of scholarships, fellowships and other awards. In particular, the Women's & Children's Hospital Foundation (WCH Foundation) is a key supporter of research at WCHN. Established in 1989, the WCH Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation governed by a Board of Directors and incorporated under the Associations Incorporations Act 1985.

The WCH Foundation is a charity for the benefit of the health and wellbeing of the patients and families who access the WCH and the WCHN. It works in partnership with the South Australian community to support the Hospital to achieve positive long-term outcomes for women, babies and children.
