In Australia and New Zealand, hospitals, including Intensive Care Units, are predominantly funded by state and federal governments. However, government funding provides good intensive care but doesn’t fund the excellence that the Intensive Care Foundation is striving for.  Care that significantly improves patient survival and quality of life requires additional resources beyond what public funding offers.

If your child or loved one were in intensive care, would you settle for just good care, or would you want the most advanced, life-saving care available?

Although hospitals and intensive care settings receive government funding, the Intensive Care Foundation does not. The Intensive Care Co-operative operates independently, relying on support from our 3 partner organisations, corporate organisations and philanthropic funding
