Medibank Community Fund

Fulfilling Medibank’s purpose, for better health, the Medibank Community Fund is a commitment from Medibank to enable and encourage people of all ages to live longer and in good health

Medibank has committed 1% of our pre tax profit each year (about $2.8 million in 2012) to the Fund. The four elements of the fund are:

• Getting people moving – through partnerships with The Heart Foundation and Healthy Parks Healthy People (Parks Victoria)
• Promoting healthier eating and community connectedness – by supporting R U OK?, an organisation whose focus is on suicide prevention through connections, and local initiatives with community grants
• Supporting disadvantaged young Australians in their health studies – through partnerships with The Smith Family and Yalari (scholarship programs)
• Helping people in times of need with response to emergency relief and research donations (eg recent flood victims)

The Medibank Community Fund Annual Review 2010-2011 outlines the breadth of the initiative, and tracks its development over the first twelve months.
