Time left to give
We need you, for when you need us most.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, unaware that within moments, you would need lifesaving critical care.
Every day and night at Barwon Health’s University Hospital Geelong, critical moments unfold in the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit and Cardiac Ward.
Whether it’s a child in respiratory distress, a sudden heart attack or an elderly patient in decline, timely care is essential. In these high-pressure environments, outcomes often depend on the expertise of our teams and the vital equipment they use.
With your help, we can give Barwon Health’s critical care teams the vital equipment they need to continue saving lives swiftly, precisely and with the best possible outcomes.

"Put simply, I wouldn’t be here without the care I received at Barwon Health."
Introducing you to Geelong local Kathryn Johns
A proud mother-of-two, Kathryn’s life was changed when she suffered not one, but two heart attacks - the first at just 38 years of age.
Kathryn’s life could have turned out very differently. Without the state-of-the-art facilities and the quality care she received at Barwon Health, she might not be here today. She could have been one of those devastating statistics.
Every donation to the Critical Care Appeal, no matter the size, helps to ensure
that more families like Kathryn’s can access lifesaving care.
