WIRF & King Edward Memorial Hospital Op Shop

Located on the lower ground floor of KEMH, the friendly volunteer run WIRF Op Shop stocks pre-loved clothing for babies and women.

All proceeds help our mission to support research for improved health of women, preterm birth and gynaecological diseases. The Women & Infants Research Foundation's (WIRF) Opportunity Shop at King Edward Memorial Hospital is a great place to grab a quality bargain or donate your nearly new baby and maternity items. Our Op Shop is located on the lower ground floor of the hospital near to the cashier. WIRF coordinates nearly 100 volunteers who work tirelessly to support the Foundation, the hospital and patients and Staff at King Edward Memorial Hospital. In addition to this, we have over 300 community knitters and sewers who make specialised garments for use in the hospital’s special care nursery, and comfort blankets for the oncology patients. Our Op Shop accepts pre-loved women's and babies clothing into a donation bin located outside the Op Shop. All donated, pre-loved items go a long way toward helping the patients of our hospital source much needed clothing for themselves and their babies, and assist WIRF to conduct essential research studies into women and infants health.

🎄 This Christmas, we’re asking for your help to advance research that could save the lives of mothers and babies.

WIRF is developing new blood tests that can detect serious pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and infection, far earlier than ever before.

Early detection means earlier treatment, better outcomes, and healthier beginnings for families.

Your support today can fund this vital work and bring us closer to a future where every mother and baby receives the care they need in time.

Every donation - no matter the amount - makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for your generosity. 💕

🎄This Christmas, your support is helping WIRF lead research into a safer future for the tiniest babies, those born under 2 kilograms.

Our scientists are pioneering a pump-free artificial lung system, designed to offer life support without the risk of pressure-related lung damage caused by mechanical ventilation.

This gentler approach could improve survival rates and long-term outcomes for some of the most fragile newborns.

Your generosity helps turn research like this into real-world solutions.
