When you choose to leave a gift in your Will to Northern Health Foundation, the Northern community will benefit both now and into the future. Your generosity will enable us to continue to fund the purchase of medical equipment, fund medical research, innovation and training for the next generation of healthcare professionals. It will also help us to continue enhancing our healthcare service as the northern population grows and the demand for our services increases.  

A bequest is a formal instruction in your Will to leave a gift to a specific person, organisation or charity. The gift could be in the form of money, property or other assets. Northern Health Foundation has partnered with Gathered Here, a free online Will platform, to help you through the process of writing your Will. You can view or download our Bequest Brochure for more information below. 

There are three types of bequests you can make in support of the Foundation. They include:

• A set amount of money or a pecuniary bequest;
• The residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate once other bequests have been made. This is known as a residuary bequest;
• A specific asset, which could be property, art works or shares.

Making a change or updating your Will is neither difficult nor expensive. If you already have a Will, you can easily add Northern Health Foundation through a legal amendment to your existing Will. This is known as a codicil. It is important to seek legal advice when making a change or updating your Will.
