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.

What role does fashion, function and affordability play in podiatry care for chronic health issues?

Thanks to people like you supporting our Medical Research Appeal, we're able to fund studies led by local health professionals like the LGH Podiatry team. This project will investigate if commercially available rocker soled shoes are as effective as customised rocker sole shoes, and the clinical benefits of developing a protocol and better service for patients to access custom style rocker soles. To find out more about this project, visit our website! 😊

Big day in the North West!

Last week, our CEO Vanessa hit the road to spend the day with our new Events and Fundraising Lead, Laura. Together they packed in a full schedule of meaningful meetings, building strong local connections as we expand our work across the region.

A standout moment was meeting with Anne Urquhart MP and her team to discuss shared priorities, including a passionate focus on improving health outcomes for communities in North West Tasmania.

We look forward to connecting with more local, state and federal representatives in the coming months as we continue laying the groundwork for lasting impact in the region.

Exciting things are on the horizon. Stay tuned.

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.

Established in 1992 by founding chairman Dr John Morris, we exist to improve the health of our local community through the provision of funding for innovative medical research, education of health professionals, funding of medical equipment and patient facilities within the hospital.

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.
