DONATE

Thank you!

Your support will help us improve the experience for patients, visitors and staff in our local hospitals and health facilities. Community donations fund valuable items above and beyond essential clinical equipment, ensuring residents and visitors in Northern NSW receive the best care and comfort possible. Community donations have a far reaching and meaningful impact.

Some of the things your gift can contribute to include:

  • Specialised medical equipment, reducing the need for patients to travel to receive treatment.
  • Research that improves medical treatments and clinical models of care.
  • Improving facilities such as refurbishment of patient lounges and family rooms.
  • Landscaping and gardening projects to create special outdoor spaces.
  • Consumables for our volunteers to use while providing companionship to patients and visitors.

The DONATE button will take you to a payment system where you can select a specific hospital you would like to receive the funds, alternatively you can select an area of greatest need in Northern NSW and let our local teams decide where your gift is needed most.

Donations for $2 or more are tax deductible.
