It’s an organisation that makes you proud to be Australian. We wanted to make a difference and that’s why we selected the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.”

“After making a number of donations in memory of loved ones, we were invited to see first-hand the research work being done at the Institute.

Following several visits – including guided tours and information sessions – it was an easy decision to make a bequest.

What do we like? The passion, skills and professionalism of the researchers and the family atmosphere evident throughout the Institute.

It is a pleasure to be associated with a research institute which is making such inroads in the eradication of serious diseases.”

“When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my life expectancy was not good. I was offered an experimental chemo trial with CSFs treatment discovered and developed by Professor Don Metcalf at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. 

As I learnt more about Professor Metcalf and the discoveries of the many research scientists at the Institute, I was inspired to leave a gift in my Will to this amazing institute so that other lives may be extended or saved.”
