Our main causes

Christmas is one of the loneliest holidays for people who cannot afford to travel or celebrate with their loved ones. You can help families in need experience the joy of being together this Christmas by donating to the Mercy Health Foundation Compassionate Support Appeal.

Everything we do at Mercy Perinatal is done to bring more mothers and babies safely home together. Your contribution provides vulnerable babies with a better start to life, so that every family can celebrate the joy of children.

Supporting the expansion of Victoria's only Breastmilk Bank, to provide sick and premature babies with access to breastmilk and the best possible start to life.

Our Imagine Fund supports aged care residents to achieve something special. By giving to the Imagine Fund, you help an older person live a long-held dream.

Preparing for the end of life is a deeply intimate and personal experience. Mercy Health Foundation supports our palliative care patients, residents, their families and loved ones, to provide comfort as people approach the end of life.

Mercy Health Foundation's Compassionate Support Fund provides support to our residents, clients, patients and their families who are experiencing financial and social disadvantage.

Supporting families through their experience at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. By contributing to Emergency Accommodation & NICU, you can help give babies and families a better start to life.

Through Local Improvements, the Foundation supports a range of initiatives in health, aged and community care. From playgrounds and gardens, to equipment — and even a pub — the Local Improvements program gives all those for whom we care a better experience of Mercy Health.
