Supporting life-saving equipment, research and innovation
Your generosity helps equip St Vincent’s hospitals now and for the future – ensuring our clinicians have the tools, technologies and research support they need to provide exceptional care, while creating environments that support comfort, healing and recovery for every patient.
In collaboration with our clinical leaders, we carefully identify the most urgent priorities where donor support will make the greatest difference. From targeted equipment purchases to transformational investments, these needs range from $1,000 to over $1 million.
All gifts make a vital difference and any contribution towards an item is greatly appreciated.
Select an area below to see how your support can make an impact:
Life-saving equipment and technology
Access to advanced technology and more life-saving equipment is essential to delivering world-leading care across our hospitals, expanding our treatment capabilities and supporting better recovery outcomes for patients.
Public - priority need: Anaesthesia Ultrasound – $50,000 each.
Real-time ultrasound improves safety and precision during anaesthesia, guiding procedures and patient monitoring. Replacing outdated machines will reduce risk and improve outcomes for patients across the hospital.
Private - priority need: Transcutaneous Jaundice Detector – $7,000.
A non-invasive device used to check for jaundice in newborn babies by measuring bilirubin levels through the skin. It uses a gentle light and sensor to provide quick, painless results.
