About Westmead Medical Research Foundation

At Westmead Medical Research Foundation, we have been raising funds since 1995 to find cures that will save lives. The funding we provide facilitates the search for and development of vital cures for the future, as well as helping those who find themselves in hospital today.

Our funds go directly to Westmead Millennium Institute (WMI), a medical research centre with more than 400 staff researching a wide range of health disorders affecting adults and children.

We also support Westmead Hospital, the largest teaching hospital in the southern hemisphere which provides a unique link between the laboratories of our research centres and the hospital's wards and clinics.

And because we don't receive any government funding, the Foundation relies on the generosity of ordinary people like you and our committed staff.
