Randwick, Sydney, Australia

Together, we can envision and enact a better standard of care for the women who uphold our families, champion our communities, and drive our economy.

In a world where women’s health has been systematically less funded, less researched and ultimately, less understood– The Royal Hospital for Women dares to make it better for women as NSW’s only specialist, dedicated women’s hospital, caring for 20,000 women and 4,000 babies each year.

The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation (RHWF) provides essential funding for medical equipment, research, innovation and programs, empowering the hospital to continue its enduring commitment to transforming the lifelong health of women and newborns, leading in genetics and fertility, gynaecology, breast health, gynaecological oncology, menopause, maternity, and neonatal intensive care.

RHWF has set an ambitious three-year Philanthropy Campaign that will also be a disciplined proving ground for a longer-term ambition to become the leading philanthropic engine for women’s health in Australia. They are now seeking a Head of Philanthropy who, reporting to the CEO and a critical new member of the leadership team, will help build and lead RHWF’s major gifts program and realise their Campaign goals.

As the successful candidate you will bring a demonstrable track record in cultivating stakeholder and donor relationships, securing gifts at the 6 figure level with the ability to lead a team and drive the fundraising strategy. An understanding of and experience in health/research will be advantageous.
