Giving Philosophy

The foundation believes that everyone in rural and remote Australia deserves equal access to quality healthcare. Its theory of change focuses on supporting the rural health workforce first—recognising that healthy doctors and practitioners lead to healthier communities. They address health inequities by providing direct GP services to rural practitioners, distributing medical equipment, funding community health programs, and conducting research into rural health challenges.

Wealth Source:As a charity founded by rural doctors (originally Rural Doctors Association Queensland), the foundation's wealth comes from donations, fundraising, and grants rather than a single founder's personal wealth. Initial funding was secured through the closure of Tropical Medical Training in 2016.

Tips for Applicants

Focus on projects that directly improve rural and remote health outcomes. The foundation prioritises initiatives that support the rural health workforce and address health inequities in bush communities. They have a strong focus on Queensland but are national in scope. Programs often target First Nations health, mental health, and preventive health education.
