Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation

Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation Ltd (POWHF) seeks to future-proof healthcare by connecting generosity to innovation and excellence in research, education, health promotion, equipment and infrastructure at The Prince of Wales Hospital (POWH).

Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation Ltd (POWHF) is the established  health promotion charity supporting the Prince of Wales Hospital Randwick (POWH). Since 2004, POWHF has endeavoured to raise vital funds and awareness for the continued development of health promotion, research, education, equipment, facilities, excellence in patient care and special projects at POWH.

We work to provide the best care possible for patients at Prince of Wales Hospital (POWHF) as well as those people and families who use our special services from all across New South Wales and beyond.

POWHF has had significant impact on the delivery of health services for the community as well as the building and renovation of major hospital facilities. We have improved community health outcomes include reduced mortality rates, reduced waiting time and length of stay, and increased patient and staff satisfaction with their experience at Prince of Wales Hospital.

We are continually striving to connect generosity with need to  enhance innovation and excellence in patient care, research, education and health promotion at The Prince of Wales Hospital.

One of the most exciting new projects at the Prince of Wales Hospital is our Acute Services Building set to open in 2022. Within its walls we will redefine current models of care and transform our health service from reactive to proactive care, supporting our patients out in the community.

The Virtual Care Centre, the first of its type in Australia, paired with the community facing medical assessment unit, will help us monitor our patients in the comfort of their own homes.

The Acute Services Building will also feature a new emergency department and wards, designed to improve patient experience and outcomes.

Our recent work has supported such lifesaving initiatives such as;

Cancer Survivorship Centre which will optimise the health and wellbeing of people living with and beyond cancer by engaging all who are impacted by a cancer diagnosis including care takers and family members.

Kidney Biobank – the region’s first unique kidney biobank for acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS).
