A gift through your will is a powerful way of assisting the Foundation long into the future. Making a provision in your will does not affect your income during your lifetime, however such a gift will benefit many lifetimes of important research.

Bequests may be used to support research programs in specific areas (eg depression), including research into the development of effective community interventions to prevent and treat mental health problems. Bequests may also be used to fund postgraduate scholarships or research fellowships in perpetuity.

The use of your gift is entirely up to you. If you have a vision about encouraging an activity or project we would be pleased to explore this further with you.
