Northern Health Research Training & Equipment Trust
Concentration RiskGiving Philosophy
The Foundation operates as a healthcare fundraising entity rather than a traditional grantmaking foundation. It raises funds from philanthropic and community sources to directly support Northern Health facilities, focusing on tangible equipment purchases and infrastructure that enables compassionate, innovative care for vulnerable populations. Priorities are driven by the clinical needs of hospitals serving a culturally diverse, rapidly growing community expected to increase 50-53% by 2036.
Tips for Applicants
This is not a grantmaking foundation but rather a fundraising entity for Northern Health hospitals. They accept donations and community fundraising efforts to support specific equipment and projects. Community groups can register events through their Community Fundraising Registration Form. Those wishing to support Northern Health should contact the Foundation directly at (03) 8405 2897 or foundation@nh.org.au to discuss current priority needs. Recent major campaigns have focused on robotic surgery equipment and supporting vulnerable patients including maternity services.
