Fundraising Department
The Fundraising Department is responsible for fundraising and developing philanthropic support for Austin Health.
When you support the fundraising activities of Austin Health you are helping to purchase extra patient care equipment items, support research and patient programs, which help our patients to receive the highest level of quality care and comfort available.
Each year fundraising income enables Austin Health to purchase millions of dollars worth of medical equipment for patients. All donations (over $2) are tax deductible and formal receipts are issued by the Fundraising Department.
Some of the items purchased in the past have even helped to make surgery faster and less invasive, reducing patients’ recovery time, enabling them to go home faster.
You can help today. Make a secure online donation here.
