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.
Inspiring Stories
Flinders Foundation has been touched by many people who have had their lives changed by disease or illness. These are the people who continue to inspire us every day, and we will not rest until their health challenges are overcome.
Mario's Story
Mario’s beautiful daughter Lauren took her own life. Now her memory is inspiring him to help others.
Neville’s Story
Neville has terminal prostate cancer and he knows time is running out. But he’s determined to do all that he can to raise awareness about the disease.
Justin's Story
Before he was diagnosed, Justin had never even heard of motor neurone disease (MND). But today, he’s hopeful that world-leading research happening at Flinders will lead to a brighter future for people like him.
William's Story
William was born at just 26 weeks and spent 123 days in the Flinders Medical Centre Neonatal Unit fighting for life. He nearly didn’t make it… But look at him now.
Monique's Story
Doctors have told Monique that she is cancer-free. But she’ll never really be free of cancer, because like so many cancer ‘survivors’, the effects of the disease and the years of treatment continue to impact her each day.
Elise's Story
Elise lost six years of her childhood to an eating disorder and very nearly lost her life. But thankfully, she now lives a life free of eating disorders.
Anthony's Story
Anthony was not prepared to give up after a fatal brain cancer diagnosis. Until his final moments his focus remained on how he could help others.
