What We Do

The Northern Health Foundation provides and manages the process for donations and philanthropic support to be allocated to: teaching, training and research; education; capital works; and the purchase of medical equipment within Northern Health.

The Foundation undertakes a range of fundraising activities including regular giving programs; events; partnerships with corporate organisations and trusts and foundations; plus bequests and in memory donations.

Who We Help

Northern Health’s acute and sub-acute health services cover a local community of approximately 728,000 (primary and secondary catchment areas) people where more than 118 different languages are spoken. The local population is expected to grow by an additional 128,569 people by 2031 (primary and secondary catchment areas), and the challenge to Northern Health will be to continue to provide accessible, quality care to meet the varied needs of the northern community.
