Friends of the CBC Auxiliary

Main funding purpose: the Children’s Bioethics Centre (CBC)

The story so far

The Friends of the CBC Auxiliary was formed in 2018 to support the CBC’s education programs, including the Annual International Paediatric Bioethics Conference held at the RCH. The Auxiliary is built upon the success of the Bioethics Development Board, which supported the CBC for many years under the leadership of Barry Novy OAM.

The Auxiliary sponsors ongoing CBC podcasts titled ‘Essential Ethics’, online e-Learning modules, employment of an Education Project Officer within the CBC and the National Paediatric Bioethics Conference which is held each year at the RCH.

Fundraising activities include a giving circle membership model, several hypothetical events and a sponsored annual charity golf day at the Albert Park Golf Course.
