About

Hadassah Charity Limited, operating as Hadassah Australia, is an Australian health promotion charity that connects the Australian community with Israel's world-class healthcare system. It primarily supports the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem and various community programs in Israel, focusing on medical research, education, trauma recovery, rehabilitation, and early childhood development.

Tips for Applicants

Hadassah Australia primarily funnels support to specific programs and initiatives within Israel, particularly those connected to the Hadassah Medical Organization. They do not appear to have an open application process for unsolicited grants from external organizations. Prospective partners or researchers should align with their core thematic areas: healthcare provision, medical research, education (especially for Ethiopian-Israelis in health), trauma and mental health support, rehabilitation services, and early childhood development in Israel.

Giving Philosophy

Inspired by its founder Henrietta Szold, Hadassah Australia is committed to creating a thriving, diverse, equal, and inclusive Israel through supporting healthcare programs. Their mission involves reinforcing the excellence of treatment at Hadassah Medical Center, advancing innovative medical research, improving the lives of young people facing trauma, supporting acute rehabilitation services, and enhancing early childhood development. They aim for sustainable social impact in healthcare and collaborative medical research to improve global health.
