About
The Lisa Fahey Foundation was established in memory of Lisa Fahey who passed away in 2003 after a short battle with cancer. It was Lisa’s wish to create a charitable foundation that helps families with a parent (or primary carer) who has cancer.
The Foundation provides financial assistance to patients who are receiving treatment at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre, Port Pirie Regional Health Service Chemotherapy Unit or Whyalla Hospital.
The Lisa Fahey Foundation is registered with the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission and is an endorsed Deductible Gift Recipient with the Australian Taxation Office.
The Board of the Lisa Fahey Foundation is managed by a range of senior professionals who volunteer their time and expertise. The administration is handled by a volunteer which means expenses are minimal and the majority of the funds donated to the Foundation are available for patient assistance. Our board:
