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.
Kate was separated from her premmie twins for 3 months
All she could do was worry, wait and hope.
When Kate and Nick’s twin babies were born premature, they were rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and stayed there for 3 months. They couldn’t stay with them, and spent every night worrying if they were OK.
Now there is a way for parents to see their babies 24/7 – and we need your support to make it happen.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
