WHO WE ARE
At Flinders Foundation, our purpose is you.
We want you, our community, to live a longer and happier life.
That’s why every day, our team works to support the leading clinicians and researchers across Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders University to deliver better research, treatment, and care, and ensure they are equipped with the latest technology, in the best environment. From cancer and mental health, to neonatal care, and everything in between
- we’re working together to prevent, cure and care.
Will you help the team at Flinders beat cancer?
We need your help to plant the ‘Seeds of Hope’ and fund more research seed grants at the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer.
