Gifts in Wills

You can create a lasting legacy for future generations of Western Health patients by leaving a gift in your Will (also known as a bequest).

Leaving a gift in your Will to the Western Health Foundation is one of the most powerful and personal ways to make a lasting difference. It’s a gift that costs you nothing today but has the potential to transform healthcare for generations to come in Melbourne's vibrant and diverse western suburbs.

A bequest is more than a donation—it’s a living legacy. It can help us purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, fund world-class research, and support our most vulnerable patients for years to come. Your generosity can create a significant impact to help us build better health services to meet the needs of current and future generations in Melbourne’s west.

 

Simple and Confidential

We understand that writing a Will is a personal and thoughtful decision. It's the best way to ensure your hard-earned savings go to the people and causes you care about most.

By including a gift to the Western Health Foundation, you can create a powerful legacy of care for Melbourne's west. Even a small portion of your estate—just 1%—can make a significant and lasting impact on healthcare for our community.

You can be confident that your gift will be managed with care and integrity. We are a registered charity, governed by a Board of Directors, and are committed to transparency and accountability.

While we always recommend seeking professional legal advice to ensure your wishes are carried out, we would be honoured to speak with you in confidence about your intentions and answer any questions you may have. Your legacy is important to us, and we are here to help. We will always respect your privacy. You can view our privacy policy here.
