Giving Weekend


Any time is a good time to give back to your local health service – but at tax time, it’s even better.

During Giving Weekend we call on locals to host their own fundraiser or volunteer to tin shake or lend at hand at our sausage sizzles. 

Dry July

It’s that time of year when we go Dry in July to raise funds and support of the amazing clinical, nursing and support staff at Barwon Health's Andrew Love Cancer Centre and cancer services.

Help us hold on to our title 3 years and counting of #1 Fundraising Team in Australia. Join the Andrew Love team and make sure your fundraising supports local families.

Project North


Our initial aim for Project North is to raise $2.5 million to relocate the dental service at Corio Community Health Centre to Barwon Health North, Norlane.

The move will make it possible for additional patients to access the service every year.

Project North continues to raise vital funds to ensure all members of our community - regardless of where they live, nationality or economic status - enjoy the very best health and wellbeing possible.

House4Health


The House4Health charity house will see a beautiful new Hamlan Home four-bedroom home auctioned off to one lucky buyer. All with the end goal of supporting better health outcomes for our community in the North of Geelong through the Foundation’s “Project North” appeal.

The project dream began after an incredible donation of land from Lara Lakes Estate. Bisinella Developments Director Lino Bisinella was inspired to gift the property, located on O'Halloran’s Rd, as a means of giving back to the community.
