Welcome to Mackay Hospital Foundation

Each year, thousands of patients visit and depend on the Mackay Base Hospital and all public hospitals in the Mackay Hospital and Health Service for expert medical care. The Mackay Hospital Foundation aims to enhance the hospital experience and help improve the health outcomes for people in the Mackay Hospital and Health Service region. Join us as we partner with businesses, individuals and the community to provide exceptional healthcare for patients and their families.

As a community driven, non-profit organisation, your support can provide:

  • Innovative health services

  • Modern, state-of-the-art equipment

  • Medical and health technology

  • Support services for patients and staff

  • Staff education, training and research

  • Improving health outcomes for communities

  • Valuable community-based volunteer programs

There are plenty of ways donations have helped across Mackay Hospital and Health Service, from big projects to small. Here are just a few recent projects:

  • Establishment of a Mental Health gym facility to enhance the effectiveness of psychological therapies and improve quality of life and symptom management for patients

  • Blanket warmers in two surgical units to warm patients and reduce complications prior to surgery, during and post-surgery
