THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT CABRINI... OUR HEART AND SOUL IS FILLED WITH THE VALUES OF COMPASSION,

INTEGRITY,

COURAGE AND RESPECT.

Cabrini Health is a Catholic, not-for-profit private health service located in Melbourne’s south-east. Inspired by the mission and ethic of care of the Cabrini Sisters, in 2023 Cabrini celebrated 75 years of providing quality, compassionate care to our community and a growing reputation for medical research.

“

We are the largest private cancer care provider in Victoria. Our service areas also include cardiology and other chronic diseases, orthopaedics, mental health services, maternity services and paediatric care.

Cabrini provides a comprehensive range of highquality acute, subacute, primary care, palliative care, diagnostic and community-based health services across south-east Melbourne and regional Victoria. The impact on individuals, families and the community has been immense and enduring.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forever changed the healthcare landscape. We predict that in the next 20 years, demand for our care will increase to 150,000 patients a year. Your generous gift will ensure Cabrini continues to be a source of healing, comfort and security for so many people - a home away from home.”

Sue Williams Chief Executive, Cabrini Health

CRITICAL Research

CABRINI RESEARCH HAS BEEN DRIVING INNOVATION FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS.

Our highly-skilled academic and clinician researchers work together to tackle challenges in healthcare and improve the lives of our patients and contribute to the body of research knowledge. Our research spans from laboratory discovery to preclinical models, clinical trials and implementation into practice.

A robust research program allows patients to access new treatments and clinical trials and also allows Cabrini to attract the brightest researchers and clinicians.

With your generous support, our breakthroughs continue to save lives in the areas of cancer, cardiovascular, mental health, critical care medicine, translational, precision medicine and health informatics research and make significant improvements in how we deliver healthcare in the modern age.

“ Without research we are condemning tomorrow’s generation to today’s treatments.”

Professor Gary Richardson OAM Group Director, Cabrini Research

“I express my gratitude to our generous donors. I am deeply committed to my profession to care for these special people with professionalism and respect. A patient is not just a patient but an individual person with a story that needs to be heard.”

– Sharmalie, Palliative Care Nurse
