Our supporters

Our Patrons Program is a simple, practical way for you to make a personal investment in the future of safer surgery and better pain treatment, and help to restore quality to patients’ lives.

Personal donations provide a vital stream of income to support future research and education projects. These projects lead to improvements in medical knowledge, procedures and outcomes for patients, through safer and better anaesthesia, surgery and treatment for acute and chronic pain. Most patrons give regular, annual gifts. We recognise the following four tiers of support, based on your total contributions.

For donors who donate $1000 or more, we will acknowledge your generous support on this webpage, and in the December edition of our magazine, the ANZCA Bulletin.

For donors who have donated $5000 or more, we will acknowledge your generous support on this webpage, and in the December edition of our magazine, the ANZCA Bulletin.

For donors who have donated $25,000 or more in total, we will add you to the ANZCA Foundation honour board located in our Melbourne office, alongside our founding sponsors and governors.

We will also acknowledge your generous support on this webpage, and in the December edition of our magazine, the ANZCA Bulletin.

For donors who have donated $100,000 or more in total, we will:

  • Invite you to name a research grant award for a defined period.
  • Acknowledge you on the ANZCA Foundation honour board located in our Melbourne office, alongside our founding sponsors and life patrons.
  • Acknowledge your support on this webpage, and in the December edition of our magazine, the ANZCA Bulletin.

All patrons are periodically invited to special foundation events.
