Foundation Directors serve voluntarily and without remuneration. Directors are appointed by the 

Governor In Council. During the year 9 meetings of the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation were held. 

To mark our tenth anniversary in July 2008 the 

Sunshine Coast Health Foundation committed 

to a $1million spend on the needs of the 

District. 

To celebrate this momentous commitment we held a 

lunch for 200 supporters where we reflected on our 

work with the community over ten years. 

Foundation Patron Rob Brough again gave graciously 

of his time to host the event which showcased the 

$7million difference made to local health services during 

that time. 

In the year to follow we spent $381,445 on the 

provision and upgrade of equipment, $231,344 on 

service support, $49,633 on local research projects and 

$89,059 on staff education. The education component 

includes $39,120 committed to funding the clinical 

component of the Diploma of Nursing Collaborative 

Program, “growing our own” assistant nurses to 

Enrolled Nurse qualifications. 

An additional $213,000 was spent on equipment in July 

2009 and will be reflected in the 2009/10 financial year. 

Another major milestone this year was our work 

with the Reed Charity Foundation on Reed Charity 

House beside Nambour Hospital. The impressive 

accommodation facility was officially handed over to the 

Sunshine Coast Health Foundation on the 21st February 

and hosted the first guests on the 6th April. 

The Health Foundation is extremely grateful to the 

Reed Charity Foundation, the Reed family and the many 

contractors and suppliers who donated goods and 

services to the $2million building project. 

We also thank the Australian Red Cross and their many 

volunteers for managing the building for the next four 

years. 

We’re very grateful for the continued support of local 

Rotary Clubs, particularly the Rotary Club of Nambour 

for raising $59,424 to furnish the building. The 

support of individuals and local business this year raised 

$172,273 to prepare the building for guests. $40,000 

of this was from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to 

build a ramp to the hospital campus. 

Butler McDermott Lawyers donated many hours 

to negotiating the management contract with the 

Australian Red Cross and finalising building matters. 

Chairman’s Report 

4 5 

Our sincere thanks go to Peter Boyce and Alan Clark for 

their generosity and hard work. 

Other valued members of our support team include car 

park managers Metro Parking and Thornthwaite CT for 

providing pro-bono accounting support again this year. 

This year marked the end of an alliance parternership 

with Heritage Building Society that since June 2002 has 

raised $160,500 for local health services. We sincerely 

thank Heritage Building Society for their support over 

the past seven years. 

We look ahead to our new alliance with Westpac who 

will also offer local health staff an exclusive banking 

arrangement, install an ATM in Nambour and Caloundra 

hospitals and work with the Health Foundation on a 

mutually beneficial alliance to support Sunshine Coast 

families. 

One of our most valuable resources is the goodwill 

and support of local health staff. They are our greatest 

ambassadors being on the frontline of health care 

identifying needs and seeing first hand the difference 

made by community support. Many nurses and doctors 

again this year represented our foundation at fundraising 

events and tours of the hospital, speaking on the 

benefits of community support to patients of their areas. 

I thank them all for their help on top of an already very 

full workload. Particular thanks goes to Dr Tom Hurley, 

David Johnson, Leanne Stone and Ruth Melville. 

Our organisation is nothing without our volunteers. 

Volunteers comprise the board of directors and 

the impressive committees at work on events like 

the Health Foundation Row For Cancer, the Health 

Foundation Spring Carnival Gala and the exclusive 300 

Club Melbourne Cup Charity Luncheon. Each year 

more business and community leaders put up their hand 

to act as ambassadors for our organisation. 

I am very proud of the Health Foundation’s 

achievements over the past eleven years thanks to my 

fellow board members, the hard working team of Lisa 

Rowe, Lisa Robbie and Julie Oliver and the exceptional 

Coast community that continues to generously support 

our work. 

Thank you, 

Mike Kelly

Board Sub-Committee Reports 

In 2008 the University of the Sunshine Coast 

produced a research report on the Sunshine Coast 

Health Foundation (SCHF), in order to gauge the 

level of awareness of the Foundation’s brand in the 

community. 

Fundamental elements of the research included; 

establishing the distinct characteristics of the 

organisation’s primary target markets, determining 

the correct and most effective qualities of the 

message to be communicated to consumers and 

identification of appropriate avenues for promotion 

of the message. 

Questionnaires and a focus group were used to 

gather data from two separate samples to ensure 

set research objectives were met. Community 

members across the Sunshine Coast were 

surveyed in order to determine the level of 

awareness of the SCHF across the region and gain 

insight into elements they believed had the greatest 

impact on increasing awareness levels. 

Focus group attendees provided thoughts 

on prevalent attitudes regarding consumer’s 

propensity to donate and opportunities the 

Foundation could capitalise on in order to 

strengthen their brand and proliferate donations. 

Statistical analyses were carried out on the collated 

data; the following was concluded: 

• 78.4% of local Sunshine Coast residents do 

not recognise the Sunshine Coast Health 

Foundation brand 

78% of respondents recognised 

at least one SCHF event 

such as the annual Health 

Foundation Row for Cancer 

Marketing Committee 

• It was determined that SCHF events have 

a relatively high level of recognition on the 

Sunshine Coast, with 78% of respondent’s 

recognising at least one event 

• The majority of respondents deemed the 

SCHF brand name to be too long, however 

30% of consumers believed the SCHF 

slogan ‘Let’s Make it Better’ was ‘somewhat 

appealing’ 

• It was found that television, radio advertising 

and news stories, fundraising events and 

television appeals were the mediums that 

contributed the most to increasing brand 

awareness of a charity 

• The television commercial implemented by the 

Foundation in order to build awareness did not 

effectively reach its target audience 

• The appropriate target market for the SCHF to 

concentrate on reaching is the 55+ age group 

This year saw a change in the way we look at the 

Health Foundation as a whole. The marketing 

committee focused on re branding the Health 

Foundation and benchmarking against other highly 

successful charities. 

The re branding structure is currently underway 

and we should be launching within the next six 

months. We are working closely with Harris and 

Harris to achieve this. 

Finance & Governance Committee Report 

With the Health Foundation’s current lease on the 

Nambour Hospital carpark ending in December 

2010 options for alternative revenue streams were 

a focus of this sub-committee early in the year. 

Options to be further investigated include possibly 

tendering for the hospital television contract up for 

renewal in September 2010. 

Further ahead are avenues for support in the new 

Sunshine Coast University Hospital now scheduled 

for completion in 2016. 

Another focus has been on expanding our 

organisation’s corporate alliance base. 

The committee endorsed Westpac’s proposal 

for a three year alliance agreement based on the 

following: 

Westpac demonstrated a keen interest in the 

Foundation’s business being the only bank other 

than current alliance partner Heritage Building 

Society that met the initial deadline, one week 

prior to the rest. 

Research Committee Report 

$49,633 for local research projects was approved 

by the Health Foundation this year from the 

$150,000 committed to the following areas: 

1. Pilot Studies - $5,000.00 per grant, 3 grants 

available 

2. Implementation Studies - $5,000.00 per grant, 2 

grants available. 

3. Randomised Control Trials or Well Designed 

Qualitative Studies – total of $45,000.00, 3 grants 

available (eg in amounts of $10,000.00, $15,000.00 

or $20,000.00) 

4. Dissemination Studies – total of $60,000.00, 1 

grant available ($30,000.00 per year for a period of 

two (2) years) 

A research committee was devised made up of 

representatives from the Sunshine Coast Health 

Foundation, Sunshine Coast & Wide Bay Health 

Service and academic representatives from the 

Tertiary partners. The Research Committee 

convenes and assesses the applications against 

the criteria for each category and the availability 

of grant funds. When all assessments are 

completed the Research Committee will forward 

to the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation the 

recommended research projects to be funded.

Ex Officio (Identified from relevant clinical area) 

Projects funded this year included $19,968 

towards investigating the social factors that will 

help prevent women from going back to smoking 

after pregnancy, $19,629 for an evaluation 

of the Newborn and Family Drop In Service, 

$5,000 towards a multi-component intervention 

supporting caregivers of persons with dementia, 

and $5,036 on a study to determine the research 

priorities in the SCWBD Mental Health Service.

In four rounds the Project Committee oversaw 

the spend of $1million on the needs of the Health 

District through it’s new funding application 

process. 

The committee initially allocated $600,000 to 

equipment purchases and upgrades, $150,000 

to service support, $150,000 to research and 

$100,000 to staff training. 

The board’s Forward Focus for the year was on 

Smoking, Nutrition, Alcohol and Physical Activity 

which meant the board looked favourably on 

funding initiatives that worked on keeping people 

out of hospital through healthy living. 

Essential to the success of the process is the 

generation of publicity surrounding the equipment 

bought and services enhanced by the funding. 

Through reports provided by areas receiving 

funding the marketing committee are able to 

generate good news stories that promote the 

benefits of initiatives such as Workplace Giving, 

alliance partnerships and sponsorship of events. 

Project Committee Report 

Work continues with a range of Non Government 

Organisations and mental health workers and 

stakeholders on establishing a Mental Health and 

Wellbeing Centre. 

Modelled on the Sunshine Coast’s Bloomhill 

Cancer Support Centre the facility will act as a 

portal to all mental health services on the Sunshine 

Coast, offering an accessible and more efficient 

avenue for support to those experiencing mental 

illness. 

The Health Foundation will consider the level of 

capital commitment to the project in the coming 

months. 

The Project Committee looks forward to a new 

Forward Focus for 2010, Health Ageing and to 

distributing a further $1 million into the regional 

health community. 

On Saturday 21st February the Reed 

Charity Foundation officially donated Reed 

Charity House to the Sunshine Coast Health 

Foundation. 

Built on land owned by the Health Foundation 

adjoining the hospital campus the three storey 

building sleeps forty guests sharing four communal 

kitchens, dining and lounge areas and two self 

contained units. 

Two separate villas provide accommodation to livein 

caretakers. 

The Australian Red Cross manage the facility that 

supports patients of Nambour Hospital and their 

families.
