Cabrini Outreach Would Like To Acknowledge The Contribution Of Our Many Supporters

We would particularly like to acknowledge and thank the Victorian Department of Health (DH) and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) for their ongoing support of our Asylum Seeker Health Services program for people seeking asylum in Melbourne and the regional areas of Shepparton and Mildura.

We would also like to acknowledge the support received from the following organisations (in no particular order):

• Cabrini Health, who provide financial support and a range of governance, administrative and corporate services support.

• Cabrini Foundation, for general fundraising support.

• Cabrini Brighton Mission Integration Committee, for their ongoing commitment and fundraising efforts that provides direct charitable support to clients both in Australia and overseas.

• St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, who provide access to free pathology and medical imaging for our clients without Medicare.

• Northwest Melbourne Primary Health Network, who provide funding through the CAREinMIND program in support of our psychology services.

• Brunswick Pharmacy, Chemist Depot Epping and Shepparton Centre Pharmacy, who supply our clients’ essential medicines and other health provisions as part of our health and pharmacy waiver programs.

• Whittlesea Community Connections who work in partnership with us to implement the Hume Whittlesea Pharmacy Waiver Program in Epping.

• The Australian College of Optometry and Specsavers Shepparton who provide free eye health checks and access to subsidised glasses.

• Igniting Change (a deliberately tiny charity, passionate about sparking big, positive change for people doing it tough in our communities), for providing one-off generous support to clients and families who urgently need it.

• Uniting Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre and Asylum Seeker Project, Baptcare Sanctuary, Salvation Army Asylum Seekers Support Service, Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Life Without Barriers, AMES Settlement and the Australian Red Cross for their dedication and collaboration with our health service and the mutual clients we support.

• Primary Care Connect, Uniting Vic Tas and Catholic Care Mildura for their unwavering partnership, support and contributions in our Clinic Sihat and Project Sihat projects.

• Collier Charitable Fund, Barr Family Foundation and other anonymous donors, for support of our asylum seeker health research and waiver programs and operational costs.

We thank our pro bono staff, who gave considerable time during the year to support people in very vulnerable circumstances. We also thank all the volunteers who supported our fundraising efforts.

We offer our sincere gratitude to all those who made financial contributions to support our programs. Special thanks to our donors who generously provided gifts and to the staff who consistently support us via the Cabrini workplace giving program. These small acts made an enormous impact on the people we support.
