Harrison’s mum Belinda:<br />

“Every time I look into Harrison’s beautiful<br />

blue eyes I am reminded of how lucky<br />

I am to have him, and how lucky we all<br />

are to have <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

to turn to when our children are in need<br />

of expert healthcare.”<br />

chairman’s report<br />

The 20<strong>07</strong>-20<strong>08</strong> fi nancial year has been<br />

one of many changes and challenges,<br />

yet also new innovations.<br />

In January 20<strong>08</strong>, we welcomed our<br />

new Chief Executive, Adam Check, who<br />

brings to the <strong>Foundation</strong> fresh insights<br />

and experience to lead our business into<br />

the future. This followed the retirement of<br />

our long serving CEO Elizabeth Crundall,<br />

who so ably led the <strong>Foundation</strong> for more<br />

than 11 years. Despite recent economic<br />

changes, our donors and supporters<br />

have not wavered in their dedication<br />

to the <strong>Hospital</strong>, and we thank them<br />

whole heartedly for their commitment<br />

to the children of NSW and beyond.<br />

In the past fi nancial year, almost<br />

$11 Million was transferred to the<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong>, providing much needed<br />

equipment, services and research,<br />

helping thousands of seriously ill and<br />

injured children. It will, however, come<br />

as no surprise to reveal that the economic<br />

woes of the local and world economies<br />

have not left the <strong>Foundation</strong> unscathed.<br />

Our net profi t for <strong>07</strong>/<strong>08</strong> was signifi cantly<br />

less year on year, accentuated by a write<br />

down on investments of $4.37 Million,<br />

which is consistent with overall falls<br />

in investment markets generally. On the<br />

other hand we remain very optimistic<br />

about the strength of our product and<br />

our staff.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s major fundraising<br />

campaign, Gold Week which incudes<br />

the highly successful Gold Dinner, once<br />

again enjoyed major exposure and<br />

support across the state, with hundreds<br />

of generous people attending the Dinner,<br />

Gold Lunches or holding fundraisers<br />

on their own.<br />

We continue to work with the State<br />

Government to ensure <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong> receives a satisfactory share<br />

of public funding, which is fair and<br />

equitable to other similar institutions<br />

in the state.<br />

In June, the <strong>Foundation</strong> committed to a<br />

new and exciting strategic plan which will<br />

inspire the capital needs of the <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

moving forward over the next few years.<br />

These developments – a new clinical<br />

wing, a redevelopment of the Emergency<br />

Department and an expanded space<br />

for cancer research, will take the <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

into a new era.<br />

Sincere thanks to all our dedicated staff<br />

and board members, and in particular<br />

the faithful service of long serving<br />

farewelled board members Peter Allen<br />

and Annabelle Bennett. We are also<br />

pleased to welcome two new board<br />

members to the <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Board – Duncan<br />

Makeig and Catherine Hogan.<br />

After such an exciting year full of change<br />

and revitalisation the <strong>Foundation</strong> is<br />

enthusiastic and well placed to continue<br />

our mission of helping the <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> provide the best<br />

of care to this and future generations<br />

of children.<br />

I would like to take this opportunity to<br />

thank you, our loyal supporters, for your<br />

continuing and generous commitment<br />

to <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 20<strong>07</strong>-20<strong>08</strong>


from the chief executive<br />

Firstly, and most importantly,<br />

thank you to everyone who<br />

so generously supported our<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong> over the past year.<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 20<strong>07</strong>-20<strong>08</strong><br />

Your passion and enthusiasm – be it<br />

though fundraising events, donations,<br />

the support of fellowships or bequests –<br />

made a substantial difference to the care<br />

we provide for our young patients and<br />

their families.<br />

Thanks to your support, <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> delivered a solid<br />

fi nancial result, highlighted by<br />

a distribution to the <strong>Hospital</strong> of almost<br />

$11 Million – an increase of 37.5%<br />

on the previous year. This refl ects the<br />

importance of your continued patronage<br />

and <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong>’s reliance<br />

on community support.<br />

The future presents many opportunities<br />

and some challenges for the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />

Our new three-year strategy aims to not<br />

only further engage our community at<br />

large, but inspire the <strong>Hospital</strong>’s plans for<br />

the future.<br />

Since joining the <strong>Foundation</strong>, I have been<br />

privileged to have met so many of our<br />

wonderful supporters and, over time,<br />

I sincerely hope to have the opportunity<br />

to meet you all.<br />

I would like to acknowledge the<br />

substantial commitment of the Board<br />

of Directors who, as fi nancial supporters<br />

and advocates for the <strong>Hospital</strong>, give<br />

so generously of their time. I am also<br />

incredibly grateful to the <strong>Foundation</strong> team<br />

– a fantastic group of people – who work<br />

tirelessly, diligently and enthusiastically<br />

to ensure that your support goes to our<br />

heart and soul, our young patients and<br />

their families.<br />

Again, to our supporters at large, thank<br />

you for being part of our team and for<br />

doing everything you can to help care<br />

for: Our children. Our future.<br />

The <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

is the principal fundraising body for the<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong>, Randwick.<br />

We engage the community and provide<br />

philanthropic opportunities for our<br />

partners to be directly involved with<br />

the <strong>Hospital</strong> and make a difference<br />

in the lives of seriously ill children.<br />

We advocate for the <strong>Hospital</strong> and<br />

work to gain exposure in political<br />

and public arenas.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> supported the<br />

construction of the current <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> building which<br />

was opened in 1998. We focus our<br />

efforts on the purchase of equipment,<br />

the construction and refurbishment<br />

of facilities and the funding of<br />

clinically-based research endeavours.<br />

This fi nancial year, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

contributed $11 Million to assist the<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong> in its pursuit of excellence<br />

for its patients and their families.<br />

We pride ourselves on being one<br />

of the leading and most transparent<br />

charitable foundations in the country.<br />

The <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

(SCH), Randwick is<br />

one of Australia’s<br />

leading specialist<br />

medical centres<br />

for children.<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 20<strong>07</strong>-20<strong>08</strong><br />

We provide quality, comprehensive<br />

and expert clinical services to the<br />

children and families of New South<br />

Wales and beyond.<br />

The <strong>Hospital</strong>’s priority is children’s health<br />

and wellbeing. To achieve the best results<br />

possible, we work as a team, ensuring<br />

personalised, high quality treatment<br />

within an atmosphere of warmth, caring<br />

and support for the children as well<br />

as their parents and families.<br />

Every year the <strong>Hospital</strong> admits some<br />

15,000 children and provides over<br />

290,000 occasions of care through<br />

our emergency, outpatient and<br />

outreach services.<br />

Our networking credentials are second<br />

to none. We engage with partners<br />

both within healthcare and beyond<br />

to ensure a comprehensive approach<br />

to the health and wellbeing of the<br />

paediatric population.<br />

Beyond our dedication to service we<br />

conduct multiple child health research<br />

projects, continually pioneering initiatives<br />

that improve outcomes for both this<br />

and future generations of sick and<br />

injured children.<br />

We embrace a commitment to education<br />

at all levels: professional, academic,<br />

community as well as of the extended<br />

families of our patients.<br />

Our dedicated staff at SCH pride<br />

themselves in providing highly effi cient<br />

health care whilst maintaining our key<br />

philosophy: “Children fi rst and foremost”.<br />

from the executive director,<br />

sydney children’s hospital, randwick<br />

Dear Friends and Supporters,<br />

The ageing of the Australian population<br />

inevitably creates substantial competitive<br />

pressures on our Health System. In this<br />

context it is important to remember that<br />

investing in the health and wellbeing<br />

of children generates unparalleled<br />

results not only in terms of health but<br />

also in broader economic and societal<br />

outcomes. Specifi cally, Children’s Health<br />

Services, both in the community and in<br />

hospitals, are critical contributors to the<br />

health and wellbeing not only of the<br />

children of today but of the productive,<br />

tax-paying population of the future.<br />

Indeed, “Our Children ARE Our Future”!<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> (SCH)<br />

has demonstrated both national and<br />

international leadership across a range<br />

of domains critical to child health and<br />

wellbeing. Our highly specialised and<br />

technologically advanced services<br />

for the most complex, severe and<br />

chronic illnesses of childhood are well<br />

recognised. Equally important, however,<br />

is our track record in networking across<br />

a range of <strong>Hospital</strong> and community<br />

services and our comprehensive,<br />

“total care” of children and their families.<br />

We lead the way in engaging our<br />

fellow professionals as well as other<br />

agencies and the community generally,<br />

with particular emphasis on rural and<br />

regional support. For example in the<br />

last year we documented 13,600 hours<br />

of outreach service by staff of SCH<br />

in face-to-face clinical scenarios.<br />

In addition, there are far more hours<br />

spent in videoconferencing, virtual<br />

meetings, telephone liaison and<br />

networking infrastructure. The leadership<br />

of our <strong>Hospital</strong> manifests across a<br />

large scope of service domains, further<br />

complimented by our commitment<br />

to education and research.<br />

In order to deliver on our commitment<br />

to provide the best of care for the<br />

children and families of NSW, we value<br />

enormously the partnership of our friends<br />

and supporters across the community.<br />

We thank you for your continued<br />

dedication and sharing our vision<br />

in serving: Our children. Our future.<br />

Best wishes,<br />

Baseline Constructions Golf<br />

Day’s Success<br />

In April, Baseline Constructions held their<br />

The Fellowship Program at <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> is vital to ensure<br />

that medical staff continue to develop<br />

their skills in an area of specialty,<br />

whilst providing the highest possible<br />

standard of care to our young patients.<br />

As new treatments and cures continue to be developed, the need to offer professional<br />

development to outstanding paediatric candidates has increased. The Fellowships train<br />

the specialists of the future and attract candidates from far and wide.<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is dedicated to providing Fellowships through its<br />

fundraising initiatives and creating partnerships with business and community. Thank you<br />

Research grants represent a major<br />

investment in the future of our children<br />

and is a vital part of <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s<br />

<strong>Hospital</strong>’s commitment to child health.<br />

Research Grants are awarded annually to staff on a competitive basis after review<br />

by the <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Research Advisory Committee. This year<br />

15 Research Grants were awarded for projects to be undertaken in a variety of medical<br />

disciplines. The following three Research Grants give an insight into the broad range<br />

of paediatric research conducted at <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />

The prognosis of Autism<br />

Spectrum Disorders<br />

Chief Investigator: A/Prof Katrina<br />

Williams, Community Paediatrics, <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

Associate Investigators: Vivian Bayl,<br />

Robert Leitner, Con Papadopoulos, Susan<br />

Woolfenden, Vanessa Sarkozy<br />

Good quality information about the<br />

prognosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders<br />

(ASD) is necessary for families of<br />

affected children to plan their lives,<br />

and for clinicians who care for them to<br />

make decisions about investigations and<br />

management. There is limited recent<br />

information about prognosis across the<br />

different diagnostic subgroups of ASD<br />

and no published studies involving an<br />

Australian population. This study will<br />

provide much-needed, locally relevant,<br />

information about short term prognosis<br />

and establish a mechanism for gathering<br />

information about medium and long-term<br />

outcomes.<br />

Psychological impact of coming off<br />

treatment for children diagnosed<br />

with cancer: a milestone or millstone<br />

for families<br />

Chief Investigator: Ms Kate Lenthen,<br />

Centre for Children’s Cancer and Blood<br />

Disorders, <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

Associate Investigators: Dr Belinda<br />

Goodenough, Dr Richard J Cohen<br />

Up to 80% of children with cancer survive<br />

into adulthood, yet little research has<br />

documented the needs and concerns<br />

of families as the child completes<br />

treatment. The transition into the long<br />

term survivor clinic represents a period<br />

where the risk of cancer returning<br />

becomes lower than the risk of long term<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 20<strong>07</strong>-20<strong>08</strong>


effects of cancer therapy. This ‘coming<br />

off treatment’ milestone can be a time<br />

of signifi cant uncertainty, medically and<br />

psychologically. This project aims to<br />

document the experiences and unmet<br />

information, support and service needs of<br />

children completing cancer treatment with<br />

a view to planning appropriate familyfocused<br />

interventions.<br />

S100 proteins and infl ammation<br />

in the intestinal epithelium<br />

Chief Investigator: A/Prof Andrew Day,<br />

School of Women’s and Children’s<br />

Health, Dept of Gastroenterology, <strong>Sydney</strong><br />

Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong><br />

Associate Investigator: Dr Steven Leach<br />

S100 proteins are small molecules that<br />

mediate infl ammation (or the response to<br />

infection or injury) in various parts of the<br />

body. This project aims to study how they<br />

contribute to diseases of the intestine or<br />

bowel that involve infl ammation, such as<br />

infl ammatory bowel disease. It may be<br />

that these S100 proteins play key roles<br />

by interacting with the normal bacteria<br />

present in bowel and amplifying or<br />

abnormally augmenting the responses to<br />

infl ammation of the intestinal lining. This<br />

project has the potential to provide new<br />

knowledge about the causes of these<br />

childhood bowel conditions, with the<br />

hope that new more effective therapies<br />

might be developed in future.<br />

devices, or tests already available.<br />

Clinical trials provide vital research<br />

evidence for best practice in the domains<br />

<strong>Report</strong> on the Financial Statements<br />

We have audited the abridged fi nancial statements, comprising the Income Statement<br />

and Balance Sheet of <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, for the fi nancial year<br />

ended 30 June 20<strong>08</strong>.<br />

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation<br />

of the abridged fi nancial statements. The abridged fi nancial statements are derived<br />

from the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s full annual fi nancial report. We have conducted an independent<br />

audit of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s full annual fi nancial report in order to express an opinion<br />

on it to the members of the company.<br />

Auditor’s Responsibility<br />

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the full annual fi nancial report based on<br />

our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.<br />

Independence<br />

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements<br />

of the Corporations Act 2001.<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 20<strong>07</strong>-20<strong>08</strong><br />

Qualifi ed Audit Opinion<br />

In our audit report to the members on the full annual fi nancial report, we expressed<br />

the qualifi ed opinion that due to the cash nature of revenue of the <strong>Foundation</strong> and the<br />

controls surrounding the collection of revenue, we are unable to express an opinion<br />

as to whether revenue as reported is complete.<br />

In our opinion, the information reported in the abridged fi nancial statements<br />

is consistent with the full annual fi nancial report from which it is derived and upon<br />

which we have expressed our audit opinion. For a better understanding of the scope<br />

of our audit, this report should be read in conjunction with our audit report on the<br />

full annual fi nancial report. A copy of this may be obtained from <strong>Sydney</strong> Children’s<br />
