Ballarat Fundraising

The Ballarat Marathon has wrapped for another year, with over $27,000 raised for Grampians Health Ballarat through the Ballarat Health Services Foundation - the highest amount ever raised through the event.

This year’s fundraising is supporting the purchase of a paediatric training mannequin for the Emergency Department at Ballarat Base Hospital. This specialised equipment will allow clinical teams to train for high-pressure, life-threatening situations involving children, helping ensure they are ready when it matters most.

We’re incredibly grateful to every participant, donor and supporter who helped make this result possible.

While race day may be over, there is still time to contribute. Donations remain open as we work towards our goal of $35,000 to fully fund the project.

Donate online to support Ballarat Marathon 2026 and local healthcare.

When you donate to Grampians Health Ballarat, you’re directly supporting the largest public health service in the Grampians region—helping provide world-class care to patients and families across Ballarat and beyond.

Community donations fund vital medical equipment, patient comfort items, wellness programs and facility improvements that wouldn’t otherwise be possible through government funding.

Every dollar helps our staff deliver the highest quality care, from maternity and children’s services to cancer care, rehabilitation and aged care.

When you give to Ballarat Health Services Foundation (BHSF), you’re investing in the health and wellbeing of our local community — right here in Ballarat and the Western District.

As the community fundraising arm of Grampians Health Ballarat, we work alongside donors, supporters and fundraisers to help deliver world-class healthcare close to home.

From vital medical equipment and improved facilities to programs that support patients and families, every dollar raised helps strengthen care for our community — now and into the future.
