We comply with the Fundraising Institute of Australia Code of Conduct and are strongly committed to being a professional and ethical fundraising organisation.

We are a proud member of the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy and we abide by the below Donor Bill of Rights.

The Donor Bill of Rights

Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organisations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:

How your donations have impact?

We rely on your generosity to ensure we can continue our critical work in caring for women and newborns, so it’s important to us that you know how we use your valuable donation.

We want to make sure your donation is sustainable and enduring because we understand that it is so much more than a financial contribution. It’s about transforming health and lives for many years to come.

As a general practice, donations made to specific programs will have funds allocated as follows:

• 70% will go towards supporting the specific program through research or the purchase and maintenance of medical equipment.

• 30% will go towards supporting the essential day-to-day running of our hospital and raising additional funds from other caring people like you, hence multiplying your impact.

We endeavour to minimise administrative costs associated with the processing of your donation and in some cases, we may retain discretion as to how donated funds are applied.

By providing an untied gift to the Women’s, you are giving us the flexibility to allocate funds to areas of highest need, giving us the ability to respond wherever and whenever women and babies need us.

We understand the need to consider your particular preferences and circumstances and we are very happy to discuss alternative funding models should you wish to do so.
