A Healthier Tasmania

Medical Research Giving Day

Your Gift Could Help Change the Future of Health in Tasmania

On 9 September 2026, Australia will celebrate the inaugural National Medical Research Giving Day. While this national day of giving is still ahead, you can be an everyday hero today, by making your donation early and helping to accelerate life-changing medical research right here in Tasmania.

Every day, Tasmanian families are affected by cancer, heart disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and motor neurone disease. At the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, scientists are working to better understand these conditions, improve diagnosis and develop new treatments that can transform lives.

As Tasmania's only medical research institute, Menzies focuses on the diseases that have the greatest impact on our community. From brain health and cardiovascular disease to cancer and healthy ageing, our research is helping create a healthier future for all Tasmanians.

Medical research gives us hope. Every breakthrough begins with research, and every research project relies on community support.

100% of your donation supports the work of Menzies researchers.

Your gift helps fund the people, technology and discoveries needed to improve health outcomes for Tasmanians and communities around the world.

By giving in the lead-up to national Medical Research Giving Day, you are helping researchers continue their vital work and bring us closer to the next breakthrough.

Make your tax-deductible gift today and help create a healthier future for Tasmania.
