One of the first acts by Clive Palmer’s charity – originally charged with executing the mining magnate’s 2008, $100 million pledge to improve Aboriginal health and welfare – was to give "sick people in hospitals" Easter eggs.

Details of the Palmer Care Foundation’s first activities since it was established in 2012 were revealed in information and financial statements lodged with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission in May.

The charity’s main activities were described as mental health and crisis intervention, social services, grant-making activities and Aboriginal health and welfare. The activities took place across Australia except for South Australia and Tasmania.

The statement said the charity helped financially disadvantaged people, children under six and people with chronic illness.
