The Common Good Au

The Common Good Au Proudly supporting The Prince Charles Hospital and Caboolture Hospital. Our research areas are health issues that touch nearly everyone in some way.

The Common Good, an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation, exists to help people live healthier, for longer. Through the power of the collective, we support and facilitate the work of incredible researchers who are dedicated to making breakthroughs in the areas of heart disease, lung disease, mental health and dementia. Whether it be a friend, a family member, or a colleague, we all know someone who is impacted by at least one of these conditions. In turn, that means we all know someone who can benefit from funding research in these areas. By funding research, we can provide hope to those suffering today, and for future generations to come. The impacts of our research ripple right across the nation and the world. We're on a mission to sustain the work of our brilliant researchers so that they can continue to make life-saving and life-changing medical breakthroughs. And we want you to join us. Research is a long game, so we need to support and fund as many hours as possible to ensure no stone is left unturned in any of our research areas. Every hour of research gets us one step closer to a medical breakthrough. We are also incredibly proud to support hospital innovation and patient care initiatives at both The Prince Charles Hospital and Caboolture Hospital.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Sullivan MP earlier this week.

Jimmy was a passionate advocate for The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.

From rolling up his sleeves at the strawberry sundae stalls, to supporting fundraising appeals and championing the research being delivered in his community, he was a valued and much-loved friend of the Foundation.

He was deeply connected to his community and consistently generous with his time and support of our work.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues and community.

Jimmy, you will be deeply missed.

Kate was born in 1985. She was unwell from birth and met doctors at The Prince Charles Hospital before her mum even had the chance to hold her.

The following year, Kate’s mum was told, “They’re not doing lung transplants yet, but who knows? In five years, they might.”

In 1996, Queensland saw its first lung transplant. Seventeen years later, Kate received a heart and double lung transplant at 27.

“I was able to get 27 years before I needed a transplant because of medical advancements.”

Kate is deeply grateful for her transplant and since then, she’s overcome challenges she never dreamed possible and continues to inspire others with her positivity and passion.

“It’s all of life’s ups and downs that you get to experience through transplant…Life can change so quickly.”

Kate’s story is a powerful reminder of what research can make possible.

đźš´This weekend, thousands of dedicated cyclists will take on the challenge of Tour de Brisbane. Across two days, they will ride and raise funds for The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.

This is your chance to support life-changing transplant research and help people like Kate get a second chance at life.

🚴‍♂️ What a result during Double Dollar Day!

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the incredible Tour de Brisbane FUND-RIDERS and their supporters, who have already raised $13,920 for life-changing transplant research at The Prince Charles Hospital during Double Dollar Day.

Thanks to our generous friends at Bondi Chai, donations will continue to be matched dollar-for-dollar until we reach our initial $20K goal for Double Dollar Day and the matched funds run out.

We also caught up with team A Change of Heart to hear why FUND-RIDING means so much to them. They’re riding for Paul, a dad and husband who received a life-saving heart transplant in 2021, close to Valentine’s Day.

If you’re riding on Sunday, keep an eye out for their iconic giraffe-patterned jerseys 🦒 — as they pedal to help move the researchers closer to their next breakthrough. 🚴‍♂️.

Again, a huge thank you to everyone who donated, fundraised and spread the word.

Our Story

The Common Good is people powering medical discoveries.

The Common Good is an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation established in 1986 under the patronage of His Royal Highness, Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales, to inspire a generous community to fund life-saving and life-changing health research that tackles Australia’s most significant chronic diseases.

Last year we provided over $5 million in grants for innovative and sustainable medical research, helping devoted researchers to pursue smart research without having to spend the majority of their time writing annual research grants or worry that their work won't be followed through. Our aim is to continue to provide more than $5 million every year to stoke innovation, with the help of people like you.

When you join The Common Good, you’re joining a movement; and when you support a particular area of research, you’re joining a team of researchers, donors, volunteers, partners and everyday people who all care about finding a breakthrough just as much as you do.
