For 30 years, Clown Doctors Australia has brought moments of joy, connection and relief to people experiencing hospital treatment and care. Working alongside healthcare teams, its professionally trained performers use humour, play, music and connection to support the emotional wellbeing of children, families and older Australians.

The partnership established in FY27 between the PNI Foundation, Five V Capital and Clown Doctors Australia supports two complementary programs. Five V supports the Clown Doctors program at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, while the Foundation supports Laughter Care, a program for older people in hospitals and aged care. Through this partnership, the Foundation’s support will help Laughter Care reach new hospitals and more older Australians as the program grows across Australia.
