The HammondCare Foundation, with thanks to our supporters, has been able to enhance quality of life across our key pillars including innovative care, education and training, evidence-informed infrastructure, and research that informs practice.

This year in particular, HammondCare Foundation supporters have stepped up for vulnerable Australians. The Foundation donated emergency funds to our flood-affected HammondCare At Home clients and medical expenses for financially disadvantaged residents, disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

And it’s thanks to the Foundation that residents at HammondCare Darlinghurst can now enjoy bi-weekly outings in their own minibus. Officially named the “Rolls Roy”, the bus has been named after the first resident at Darlinghurst, Roy Allen, who became an unofficial concierge and welcomer to everyone who came through the doors. Roy was an enthusiastic advocate for the purchase, to support resident outings.

Residential Manager Chantel: It has been a delight to see the impact Rolls Roy has had on Darlinghurst residents. They absolutely love having the freedom to get out and about, visiting the beach and their old stomping grounds. It provides them with a moment in time where they can leave everything behind and truly enjoy the present.
