Hadassah Australia supports programs that connect the Australian community with Israel, and which make a difference at home and abroad. Hadassah Australia was established in 2003 by Ron Finkel AM, the current National President. For us, Hadassah is more than a hospital - it is an inspirational beacon of healing, friendship and peace among all people.

From humble beginnings as a small “outpost” run by volunteers, Hadassah Australia has grown into a very successful DGR-1 charity with a permanent office and professional staff, backed by a growing base of supporters across the country. Hadassah Australia provides substantial and meaningful support for Hadassah Hospital, both financially and through a range of collaborative programs and activities.

Our Vision
Hadassah Australia creates sustainable social impact through healthcare and collaborative medical research to support a thriving, inclusive Israeli community and improve global health.
