RBWH Foundation Grants Round 5
Share this project 

The patient buggy service is here to make hospital visits easier: A quick and comfortable option for anyone who needs a little extra help getting to an appointment or moving around the hospital campus.  

This purpose-designed vehicle is one of the many ways the RBWH Foundation is translating community generosity into practical, meaningful support - driving better, kinder and more accessible healthcare for Queensland.  

Why it matters

Navigating a large hospital campus can be daunting, particularly if your mobility is limited, you’re experiencing cognitive challenges or dealing with an invisible illness or disability. 

Whether you’re a patient or a visitor, the buggy is here to ease the journey - removing the physical strain and uncertainty of getting around the hospital, so you can arrive at appointments on time or focus your energy on simply being there for a loved one. 

Get where you need to go - or help someone else get there

When you donate to the RBWH Foundation, you’re helping build a more compassionate hospital experience, funding not only medical breakthroughs and next-generation health technology, but the thoughtful supports that make care easier, more accessible and more human for patients and families.
