Tips for Applicants

For scholarship applicants, you must be a permanent employee of Gold Coast Health. Your proposed study should be relevant to your area of employment. For equipment and facility improvement grants, ensure the item is not on the Health Technology Equipment Replacement Program (HTER) or the Hospital Assets Register. All equipment and facility projects require Department Director sign-off and sighting by Clinical Governance. Applications for all grants are submitted through the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation’s Smarty Grants portal.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation approaches giving by investing in the skills and experience of Gold Coast Health staff through scholarships and by funding medical aids, equipment, and facility improvements that enhance patient care and ease distress caused by illness and disease. They foster partnerships, such as with SurePark, and encourage community fundraising to support their initiatives.
