At Bendigo Health we aim to treat patients closer to their homes and loved ones – from birth, continuing throughout their lifetime. Providing Excellent Care, Every Person, Every Time.

Fundraising has been an integral part of our history since the first Bendigo hospital in the 1800s, with our community as our biggest advocates. More recently, Dry July has become a significant initiative on our annual fundraising calendar, raising close to $800,000 to support Bendigo Health’s cancer patients since 2014.

Funds from our 2024 Dry July campaign will support upgrades to Bendigo Health’s Palliative Care unit, providing patients and their families with a comfortable and welcoming environment.
