Wish Upon A Star

Help us save lives as they begin. Together, let's fund vital medical equipment to support sick local babies and children in hospital this Christmas.

No-one wants to wake up in hospital this Christmas. But if you or your child do, Barwon Health staff will be here for you and your family.

Your generosity this Christmas will ensure that our doctors and nurses have access to the latest equipment — equipment that will help us care for local children.

Your generosity can help light up a child's life this Christmas. 

House4Health

The House4Health project dream became a reality thanks to an extraordinary donation of a block of land from Bisinella Developments and their new Lara Lakes Estate. Modelled on the national-award winning Grand Lakes Estate, Lara Lakes is located at the top of the Lara West Growth Area, bordering the existing township.

An army of supporters and philanthropic businesses from across the region then played their part in this dream.

From the remarkable Lino and Richard Bisinella from Bisinella Developments, Hamlan Homes who have constructed the stunning four-bedroom property, Bendigo Bank who are longstanding supporters of the Foundation and wider community, the team at Ray White Lara and many contractors, suppliers, trades and more.

Project North

We are so proud to see fundraising efforts for the Project North Appeal come to fruition. The purpose built space, was made possible through the generous donations of our community.
