      Leave a gift in your Will

      Make an impact beyond your lifetime by leaving a Gift in Will that extends vital relationship-based care to vulnerable Australians with complex health needs.

      A choice to support generations to come

      Choosing to make a Bequest (also known as a Gift in Will) to HammondCare Foundation is a heartfelt, personal choice, and for many a reflection of their faith and values. 

      Your Gift in Will is the footprint you leave behind to enable life-changing projects and innovations across every area of service — from complex dementia and palliative care to aged homelessness. 

      Your Gift in Will could even be a way to say “thank you” for the care you or a loved one received from a HammondCare service.

      The difference you make

      Whatever amount you choose to leave to HammondCare will be your enduring tribute of generosity and concern for the welfare and quality of life of people in need.

      How to leave a Gift in Will

      • You can leave a Gift in Will when you create or update your existing Will. 
      • You can make a codicil that updates your wishes and attach it to your Will. A codicil must be signed and dated by you and two witnesses.
      • Leaving 1% or 100% of the residue of your estate, ensures you take care of family and loved ones first while including causes that are close to your heart.
      • Please speak with your legal representative when making any updates.
      • Let your loved ones know about your decision and why this is important to you.
