CENTRAL HIGHLANDS RURAL HEALTH – GIVING REPORT 2024/2025

Published July 1, 2025

THANK YOU to all of our supporters and donors who have helped to enhance the health and wellbeing of rural Victorians in the 24/25 financial year! It’s been a huge year across all of our sites providing healthcare close to home for people living in the Hepburn Shire and Macedon Ranges Shire.  Due to the incredible generosity of our donors we have been able to purchase life-saving and life-changing equipment and resources for our patients, residents and clients.

We have received an amazing:

  • $638,363.67 in donated funds
  • $20,000.00 estimated value in vouchers, items and equipment

In the 2024/2025 financial year we have utilised $277,541.96 of donated funds to enhance the care of our communities. We have nearly $300,000 in wish list items that will be reviewed in the new financial year.

 

 

Some highlights from the year have been:

  • The Clunes Health Wellness Garden Project that is currently underway after consultation with clients, staff and community.
  • Kyneton Health’s scalp cooler appeal that raised over $50,000 for vital Oncology equipment
  • Trentham Health celebrated 90 years of service to the community with an exhibition of memorabilia, dinner and resident afternoon tea in September followed by a charity golf day in February that raised much-needed funds for the new Trentham Wellness Hub thanks to Wooling Hill Memorial Estate, sponsors and players.
  • Daylesford Health enjoyed barefoot bowls in the sunshine in November that funded life-saving theatre equipment thanks to The Farmers Arms Hotel, sponsors and players. Another highlight was re-naming the theatre to acknowledge the long-term generosity of the Harry & Peggy Maddicks Estate – it is now the ‘Maddicks Theatre’.
  • Creswick Health’s ongoing support from the incredible Creswick Hospital Auxiliary has enabled them to purchase equipment to make residents and patients more comfortable.

We would also like to acknowledge these major donors, community groups and businesses who are dedicated to supporting their local community:
