Clifford Craig Foundation

Clifford Craig Foundation The Clifford Craig Foundation was established in 1992 by the local community with the founding vision to improve health outcomes for the region.

Based at Launceston General Hospital, the foundation has since developed into a vibrant organisation, which plays a vital role in facilitating quality medical research into the health issues that affect the people within our community. Most importantly, our program is designed to fund medical research that will help attract researchers, higher degree students, and specialist doctors and physicians to work in our region. Since its inception, the Clifford Craig Foundation has built a quality research centre at the LGH and has committed to provide in excess of $4 million in funding for over 100 worthwhile medical research projects. Our dedicated research team have established a reputation for relevant, practical and innovative research which has truly improved medical understanding and better treatments for many serious illnesses,

We have demonstrated that we can make significant contributions to medical knowledge and with continued community support we can do much more.

Welcome to the Clifford Craig Foundation

Welcome to the Clifford Craig Foundation page. We are a health promotion charity that proudly supports the Launceston General Hospital, the tertiary hospital for north and northwest Tasmania.

Medical research is a priority focus and we enable our research teams to find better treatments and ways to cure the health-related issues that are important to Tasmanians. Notably, the research and educational opportunities that we provide are intended to help attract and retain medical specialists, researchers and higher degree students to work here and in Northern Tasmania.

Our vision is to be a leading health based fundraising organisation, trusted by the community and renowned for investing in a future of exceptional healthcare, research and education. For more information on our work, events or to make a donation please visit: www.cliffordcraig.org.au.
