About The Alfred Foundation
The Alfred Foundation creates and nurtures philanthropic partnerships between the community and The Alfred.
Through The Alfred Foundation, individuals, community groups and organisations can contribute to The Alfred's role in saving lives, improving the health of our community, and advancing medical research.
Each year, we receive remarkable support from the community, Trusts, foundations, estates, individuals, corporate partners, and other local and national organisations.
This generosity has enabled us to work together to drive innovation and change at the hospital across a range of projects, such as redeveloping the Emergency & Trauma Centre and building The Alfred Centre.
Life Support Committee
Life Support was formed in 2003 to help The Alfred minimise the devastating impact of trauma. Born from the tragedy of the 2002 Bali Bombings, Life Support has generated over $1 million for the purchase of life-saving equipment.
Women @ The Alfred
Since 2001 the W@TA have donated in excess of $4 million to support the early detection and treatment of those impacted by prostate cancer, including helping to establish a dedicated Prostate Cancer Clinic at The Alfred Centre.
