Donations

As a voluntary organisation, AVA relies on donations to fund the expenses involved in providing our services to victims and their families. Donations to AVA come from various sources, such as sponsorships by annual contributions or from families and friends.

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times we have to face in life, and finding ways of coping is different for everyone. As part of that journey, some may choose to donate to a support organisation such as AVA. This can be done by asking people to make a donation in lieu of flowers at the funeral service. AVA can supply envelopes for this purpose.

If you prefer to ask for donations for asbestos research, we can advise you. There is wonderful work being done by Flinders Medical Centre (Professor Doug Henderson AO Research Fund), the Asbestos Disease Research Institute (NSW) and the National Centre for Asbestos Related Disease (WA). Others may prefer to include a bequest to AVA in their will as a lasting way of remembering and celebrating the person’s life, and highlighting the need for asbestos awareness and ongoing research into improved options for treatment. If we can help you with the wording of bequests or leaving a legacy in your Will, please call us on (08) 8212 6008. We can help you to ensure that your bequest is used in the manner you intend.
