We are excited to present you with a new format of The Alfred Foundation's annual report, Impact. 

Patient transport to and from The Alfred has received a big boost after an excellent fundraising effort during Dry July this year. 

Read all the latest news from The Alfred Foundation, spanning news, research, historical connections and ongoing fundraising efforts throughout our community.

In May 2020, Rory Smith was living the life of an energetic 22-year-old, looking forward to his 23rd year – a year when he thought his life would start to fall into place. 

Regularly getting to and from The Alfred can be a challenge for patients in the best of situations - for many, it is extremely difficult without help. Donations for Dry July go towards funding a vital transport service to help patients receive the best possible care.

Continuing to raise money for The Alfred several years after her mother passed away is the best legacy that Beck Poloso can think of to commemorate her.

Catch up with the latest news from The Alfred Foundation, as we update you with some ongoing developments, look back at events that have happened and look ahead to what is coming up.

In an Australian first, The Alfred Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is now home to a mobile computed tomography (CT) scanner. With no other ICU in the country using mobile CT, the installation of the machine in 2022 was the culmination of a six-year project to revolutionise the way ICU patients, especially those who need head CT scans, are cared for. Costing just more than $1 million to purchase and install, the project could never have been achieved without the $850,000 generously contributed by the community.

In this edition of The Alfred Foundation's annual publication, Impact, we celebrate the transformational impact that the contributions from our donors have had on both our staff and our patients.
