Devil Island Project is committed to saving the endangered Tasmanian Devil by building free-range enclosures on large areas of land that are called "Devil Islands" and our two new schemes "The Great Devil Walls of Tasmania" (GDWOT). These double fenced facilities quarantine the Devils in their natural surroundings of their home State of Tasmania as an almost self-sustaining population and have kept them free and safe from the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) cancer which has rapidly wiped out 90% of their species over large areas throughout Tasmania. Healthy Tasmanian Devils can now roam wild in our Devil Islands with optimum welfare conditions and safe and secure isolated areas for breeding which will then increase their chances for survival and reestablishing themselves in the future.

The Steve Waugh Foundation is committed to a coordinated approach to the service, identification, treatment and research of rare diseases to improve the quality of life of children affected by rare diseases (0-25 years of age). We strive to improve the quality of life for children and families affected by rare diseases. The rare disease patient is the orphan of the health system, often without diagnosis, without treatment, without research and therefore, without reason to hope. Families and carers of children with rare diseases experience significant psychological stress due to social isolation, unemployment, diagnostic delays, lack of information and difficulty accessing appropriate health care. The Steve Waugh Foundation is working to help change things for children with a rare disease by giving hope, providing medicine, equipment and treatment, supporting education and research, partnering with other like agencies and organisations as well as supporting specific projects and programs. The Foundation has already supported over 400 families through generous donations from our Patrons, corporate partners and supporters. We invite you to join the Steve Waugh Foundation to give our children with a rare disease and their families ‘somewhere to turn’.

‘GO for Gynae’ is a call to action to help grow awareness of gynaecological cancers and fundraise for research conducted by the Australian New Zealand Gynaecological Group (ANZGOG). There are seven gynaecological cancers including ovarian, cervical, endometrial and vulval. These cancers and their symptoms are not well known, 13 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer each day and four will die. More research into gynaecological cancer is needed to improve prevention and treatment. We want to help women know the symptoms of gynae cancers, listen to their bodies and take control of their health; to participate by reaching out to other women and build awareness; to take part in a clinical trial if diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer and very importantly – help fund new research. Virtually every advance in cancer survival has been made on the back of clinical trials. ANZGOG is the national gynaecological cancer research group, collaborating with research institutions across Australia and internationally.
