Through the Dr Sue Charlton AM Memorial SubβFund, fully subsidised infant hip screening is now available for babies in Mount Gambier through a partnership between Stand Like Stone Foundation and .
Sue advocated for hip scans in the first two weeks after birth to give children the best possible start in life through early identification, prevention and intervention. By removing financial barriers and increasing awareness, this initiative has the potential to help local babies access support at a critical stage of development.
What makes this particularly special is that the generosity of our community is now being transformed into a practical and sustainable benefit that will continue to support families well into the future.
This initiative also represents an important milestone for Stand Like Stone Foundation as the first project delivered through our Community Charity Trust, demonstrating how community foundations can work alongside partners to directly activate local solutions to community needs.
A huge thank you to the Charlton family, 1 Stop Paediatric Services and everyone who contributed to the fund. Together, we are ensuring Sue's passion for children's health continues to make a meaningful difference.
