The Leukaemia Foundation is the only national organisation dedicated to the care and cure of patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.

They fund vital research into better treatments and cures, investing at least $4 million each year in the work of Australia's best researchers.

They support patients and families by providing cost-free services including patient transport to and from treatment, fully-furnished accommodation located near major hospitals for regional and rural patients, counselling, emotional support, disease education, and practical support.

Babies and children cared for at Mater are affectionately known as Mater Little Miracles.

Each and every one of Mater’s little patients is a miracle—from the newborn baby in Mater Mothers’ Hospitals to children battling serious illness in Lady Cilento Children's Hospital.

The Mater Little Miracles Appeal provides a unique opportunity to help Mater deliver exceptional health care to some of the state’s sickest children and premature babies.
