Let's create a bequest of hope

A bequest is a personal decision, a statement incorporated into your will that you wish to have a certain portion of your assets given to a chosen person or organisation. Leaving a bequest in your will to Mental Health Foundation Australia is a powerful way to support mental health causes that are close to your heart. Your generous bequest will go to the worthy cause, youth suicide prevention programs. Mental Health Foundation Australia is the peak body contributing to reduce the stigma of mental health concerns in multicultural communities and also educating and supporting them across Australia.

Our Mission and Values

 At the Mental Health Foundation Australia, we understand the significance of your decision to include us in your will. We are committed to honouring your generosity and ensuring that your legacy supports mental health initiatives that make a real difference in people's lives.

  • Your Legacy, Our Mission

    The legacy one leaves is always worth so much more than the sum of its parts. Beyond property, shares, finances, artworks—or anything else—your estate is all about meaning. It’s reflective of your story: filled with memories, challenges, cherished moments, and more from a life well-lived. 

  • A Hopeful Gift

    There is nothing more meaningful than completely changing someone’s life for the better. Since 1930, the Mental Health Foundation Australia has often led the way in the development of innovative mental health programs such as the pioneering of support groups, community forums and lectures, schools’ programs, and direct outreach to children, parents, and adults who live with mental health challenges. 

  • Rise Beyond The Horizon

    During pandemic years, our National Mental Health program reached over 9,000,000 Australians and involved 500,000 people in a virtual (and actual) community walk for mental health. Our mission continues with past bequests gratefully recognised and acknowledged, helping our organisation care for future generations. 

  • Seeing The Tree Of Life

    Through a gift in your Will, your life story can help to write incredible new chapters for others. These new chapters will allow for the direct support of those experiencing mental illness in the community - this incredible change is not possible without you. As a not-for-profit community organisation, amazingly generous people like you provide over 80% of our funding. Every contribution through a bequest, no matter the size or format, is incredibly vital. We cannot thank you enough.  Any size of bequest—or gift in your Will—creates incredible change; for people, for the community, and allows our proud work to continue.
