Our Kids
Our Kids, more formally known as the Northern Rivers Children's Health Fund, was founded in 2001 by Dr Chris Ingall.
Our Kids aims to improve the health services for children in the Northern Rivers area by purchasing paediatric equipment for the Lismore Base Hospital, Tweed Hospital, Grafton Hospital and the surrounding satellite Northern Rivers hospitals.
Through the generosity of our community, Our Kids has purchased $2.3 million+ worth of paediatric equipment for our local hospitals.
This equipment benefits our community by helping kids stay local when needing medical care.
If you would like to make a difference to sick kids in Lismore and the surrounding region, please donate or contact Our Kids today.
Our Kids Community Grants open June 1.

Thank you for helping us help our kids!
Meet some of Our Kids
Logan and Isabella
Both Logan and Isabella were born extremely prematurely. Both are thriving.
Isiah
Isiah was born 14 weeks early, weighing just 800gm! He has been a courageous battler from the start and spent his first few months in hospital. Now Isiah is just like any other 3 year old boy - fun-loving and boisterous.
Arabella
Arabella is a beautiful young girl who has struggled with her motor development, needing injections of botox in her muscles. Arabella required intensive resuscitation after birth and has done exceptionally well, a bright and interactive young girl who enjoys her preschool.
