Overview

About Bobby Goldsmith Foundation

Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) is Australia’s longest-running HIV charity, founded in 1984. It began when a group of friends came together to provide their dying mate, Bobby Goldsmith, with the care he needed to remain at home, ensuring his last weeks were as comfortable as possible. Bobby died with dignity, at home, where he wanted to be.

This act of compassion established an important precedent: if direct support could be provided for one person, it could be done for many. We are the legacy of that dedicated group of friends.

For more than 40 years, BGF has been supporting people living with HIV. We provide practical, emotional and financial support to individuals in New South Wales and South Australia. We are unique as the only not-for-profit in Australia offering frontline services and support to people living with HIV.

Recognising the evolving needs of our community, we have expanded our services to include disability support and aged care. Our support extends to all people, especially those living with HIV, the broader LGBTQIA+ community and anyone seeking progressive, supportive care.

BGF is a registered not-for-profit with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission. Every donation to BGF is tax-deductible, ensuring that we can continue to provide essential support to those in need.

We have no political or religious affiliations, just a deep-seated commitment to helping people live well on their terms through practical, tailored care.

We are also an equal opportunity employer dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive workplace and services.

Together, we can ensure no one has to face life’s challenges alone.
