The Children’s Hospital at Westmead is the largest paediatric health centre in NSW, offering advanced care and treatment for children through a range of specialised programs—including the Chronic Illness Peer Support (ChIPS) program.
The ChIPS program supports young people aged 12–25 living with chronic illnesses that impact their daily lives. From 2011 to 2019, the Ottomin Foundation proudly contributed over $460,000 to the program, enabling sustained delivery and growth. This nine-year partnership also supported research into the benefits of peer support, ultimately helping ChIPS secure recurring NSW Government funding.
