Community projects

Support for Aboriginal medical and dental students

This initiative, in partnership with the University of Western Australia, focuses on the provision of resources and equipment as direct student support, financial support for students to attend conferences/workshops and sponsorship of students to complete their studies.

ASeTTS

ASeTTS provides services to people who are humanitarian entrants or are from a refugee type background and who have experienced torture or trauma in their country of origin, during their flight to Australia or while in detention. We are in partnership with ASeTTS so that they are able to provide a playgroup aimed at preventing long term developmental and behavioural problems for children from refugee backgrounds.

CanTeen

Over the next two years, our cargivers have committed to being a part of the  two, week long division camps run each year. CanTeen supports, develops and empowers young people living with cancer through a number of camps and programs during the year.

Camp Quality

Camp Quality is a national organisation that provides services to children living with cancer and their families.  Camp Quality runs a multitude of camps and programmes throughout the year.

Caregivers at St John of God Subiaco Hospital are given the opportunity to partner with Camp Quality during their week long camps and are supported with community support leave. 

Rafiki

The Rafiki Surgical Missions (Rafiki) in WA was established in 2004 to work closely with Interplast Australia and Host hospitals in Tanzania. Located in Perth Western Australia, Rafiki performs operations on children who would otherwise not have access to such specialist services. Rafiki conducts up to three missions per year.

St John of God Subiaco Hospital supports Rafiki through the provision of funding and the opportunity for caregivers to use their expertise in support of those who are in need. 

Operation Rainbow

Operation Rainbow Australia Ltd (ORAL) was established in Perth in 1995, and has been conducting surgical missions each year to help these children who would otherwise not have the opportunity to have this life changing surgery. At each mission, hundreds of children arrive to seek treatment, many who have travelled several days to be seen, and these trips from international organisations allow 3000 children to be treated each year.   

St John of God Subiaco Hospital began providing the funding for the yearly ORAL mission to Cebu, the second largest island in the Philippines, in 2010 and covers the costs for medications, instruments and anaesthetic machines to be sent to the Philippines.
