About the Western Health Foundation
The Western Health Foundation is dedicated to supporting Western Health as it grows and transforms healthcare in Melbourne's west.
Working together with patients, family members, staff, clinicians, volunteers and our community, the Western Health Foundation raises, manages and invests funds to support Western Health's current and future priority needs.
While government funding meets the everyday healthcare needs of our community, donations help us to innovate and provide a stronger healthcare system for everybody.
Donations to the Western Health Foundation support priority projects through:
Building better hospitals - with the latest equipment, technology and patient facilities
Caring for community - with specific support for patients in need
Enabling world-leading research - to keep Melbourne's west at the forefront of medical and health outcomes
Investing in our intelligence - by supporting staff development, training and wellbeing
