ABOUT US
Nestled in the streets of Glenelg South, Glenelg Community Hospital as a not-for-profit Hospital has been providing compassionate care to the community since it opened in 1950. However, the Hospital – housed in an ageing building – faces numerous challenges when it comes to maintaining and upgrading our facilities to meet new Australian Standards and new medical equipment requirements. We receive no government funding or grants, so to assist in overcoming these challenges we are asking for donations. This is your opportunity to help ensure we can continue our vital work in looking after the health of our community.
Glenelg Community Hospital is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). This means that all donations are tax deductible, providing you with an added benefit for your generosity.
CURRENT PROJECT
Our fundraising goal is $45,000.00 for the purchase of three new surgical eye chairs. These will replace the ageing chairs (>20 years old) that have passed their expiration, and will assist with the comfort and recovery of our patients who have had eye surgery.
As at July 2025

BEQUESTS
A bequest to the Hospital, a gift from your estate through your Will, is a very valuable way to assist the Hospital's work.
The Glenelg Community Hospital values the trust of every bequest, by using them to enhance the value of the hospital in the community and benefit generations to come.
A person making a bequest may not wish to advise the hospital of their planned gift as it may not be realised until well into the future. However, we would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to thank the donor now for their intended generosity. On occasion, it may be appropriate to discuss the best way to use the intended gift and how best to acknowledge it when it is received.
A bequest may take a number of forms. It may be a gift of a specific sum of money, a percentage of the estate, or a gift of property such as real estate or artworks.
While you may draft a Will yourself, it is strongly recommended that you seek advice about the appropriate procedures from your Solicitor, Tax Adviser or a Trustee Company.
IN MEMORIAM
On occasion, family members may choose to ask relatives and friends to make a donation to the hospital in memory of their loved one. Such donations can be used for the Foundation’s current project or a project nominated by the family.
For more information on In Memoriam donations contact us on 8294 5555.
