A message from the Chairman

The Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences allows talented young people to reach their full potential whether in biomedical research or by gaining a world class education.

Since assuming my role as Chairman of the Monash University Medical Foundation, I have been privileged to meet some wonderfully talented people who are incredibly passionate about their research. Without philanthropic support many of these researchers would miss out on the opportunity to help make an impact in their chosen field of expertise through their research. Whilst always a personal choice, I believe it is up to everyone who has achieved a measure of success in life to provide a helping hand to others to do the same. Scholarships and bursaries mean the difference between no university education and a world class education that allows a student to achieve their highest potential. Funding research projects not only supports scientific discoveries that can save lives but also gives young researchers the opportunity to undertake their research here in Australia.

Being part of the Monash Medical Foundation is a very gratifying and totally enjoyable experience. It is an honour to be part of the great work already being carried out by the faculty, as well as making it possible for the faculty to move forward with innovative teaching and research initiatives.

With your help we can make a difference to the health and wellbeing of our families, friends and the community.
