What We Do
Enhance Patient Comfort and Care
With the support of our community, the Barwon Health Foundation is proud to invest in enhancing the level of comfort and care provided by Barwon Health. We do this by funding vital medical equipment, investing in compassionate care services and building better health facilities.
Support Our Healthcare Workers
Health and emergency workers are remarkable, resilient and committed people. At Barwon Health, we are lucky to have the very best. They support our community through the highs and the lows, through celebrations and through grief and trauma. They too need our support.
The Barwon Health Foundation is driven to make sure we ‘care for the carers’, to support our health care heroes.
Advance Cutting-Edge Research
Barwon Health has some of the brightest minds, world-class researchers, conducting life-changing studies and clinical trials right here in Geelong.
From oncology, cardiology, mental health, infectious diseases, and paediatric research (just to list a few), Barwon Health's research is highly regarded across the globe. You could almost guarantee that there is research happening across all disciplines at Barwon Health at any given time.
In 2020, we were thrilled to announce a life-changing gift from The Costa Family and The Anthony Costa Foundation. An iconic Geelong family known for their passion for our community,
The Costa Family supported the establishment of Geelong’s first-ever, dedicated Clinical Trials Centre in honour of their late brother, Adrian Costa.
About 200 clinical trials are underway across Barwon Health's clinical trials team, which include cardiology, intensive care, anaesthetics, psychiatry, orthopaedics, infectious diseases, pharmacy, endocrinology, neurosciences, paediatrics, palliative care, emergency care, and cancer services.
Build a Healthier Future for Tomorrow
The Barwon Health Foundation supports the community’s health needs of today while also working to build a healthier future for tomorrow.
Our goal is quite simple, once we have tended to the immediate needs of our community, we want to ensure that there is sufficient funding available to respond to the future needs of Barwon Health.
Donating to build a healthier future for tomorrow is a way to care for your family, forever.
