About Us
The Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation
The Royal Melbourne Hospital is Victoria’s oldest Hospital, providing care to the people of North Western Metropolitan Melbourne and to all Victorians when they need us.
The purpose of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation is to improve the health of communities served by The Royal Melbourne Hospital through the support of quality healthcare services, support of innovative research, and the education of health professionals across our Hospital.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation encourages the community, organisations and businesses to support the services of The Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Donations to the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation help improve patient care, purchase life-saving medical equipment, and ensure our research teams continue to find better ways to cure our patients.
Fundraising and philanthropy has been a part of The Royal Melbourne Hospital for more than 170 years commencing before our first patients were admitted on 15 March 1848. Over the past 164 years the Victorian community has supported The Royal Melbourne Hospital, helping to care for all Victorians when they need us most.
