The Heart of the Northern Rivers
Our Partnership with Our Kids
At the Seaton Foundation, we believe every child deserves the best possible care close to home. That is why we are proud long-term partners of Our Kids, an organisation dedicated to keeping families together during their most challenging times. By funding paediatric medical equipment for hospitals from Tweed to Grafton, Our Kids ensures that specialised treatment is available right here in our region. Our joint efforts have brought life-saving technology to local wards, including in-utero monitoring, neonatal support, and vision-saving retinal scanners.
Local Care, World-Class Technology
By funding paediatric medical equipment for hospitals from Tweed to Grafton, Our Kids ensures that specialised treatment is available right here in our region. Our joint efforts have brought life-saving technology to local wards, including:
-
In-utero Monitoring: CT machines for specialised women’s care.
-
Neonatal Support: Critical intubation equipment and jaundice meters.
-
Vision Saving: An Icon Retinal Scanner that allows premature babies to be tested locally, saving families a stressful trip to the Gold Coast.
Unshakable Spirit
When the 2022 floods devastated our region, Our Kids didn’t just recover—they led. Despite losing their own office to the water, they coordinated the Darrel Chapman Fun Run as a free event to help the community heal. Seeing a sea of red runners was a testament to the "heart" of Lismore and the resilience of an organisation that always puts children first.
We are more than just supporters; we are part of the Our Kids family. Together, we are ensuring that the Northern Rivers remains a place where families can find care, comfort, and community when they need it most.

The Seaton Foundation's generosity will have an impact for generations to come. The equipment purchased will support countless local children and their families, helping them receive the medical treatment they need close to home
