Mr and Mrs Ovens - heart research donors

Other ways to give

Researchers at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute are fiercely committed to discovering better ways to diagnose, treat, cure and importantly prevent heart disease.

But we know all too well that we cannot stop the heart break alone. None of it would be possible without your vital support and there are many ways you can help us achieve our vision for all Australians.

A gift in celebration

Donate in memory of a loved one

A gift in memory is a special way to honour your loved one. When someone close to you passes away, a gift to the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute can be a meaningful tribute to their memory.

There are a number of ways you can support heart research in memory of a loved one, including direct donations, donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral, and ongoing contributions to mark a birthday or other event in their life. You can also choose to set up a Facebook fundraiser page in their memory. All funds raised via Facebook come directly to us without fees being charged to us.

This kind gesture will help scientists at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute to develop enduring treatments and preventions for heart disease.

How to organise donations in lieu of flowers

If you would like friends and mourners to make a donation to the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in lieu of flowers, you may wish to include this request in your loved one’s funeral notice. Please consider the following wording:

“In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of …………………… to the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, PO Box 699, Darlinghurst, NSW, 2010.”

You can ask your funeral director to contact us directly or you can call our Donor Care Coordinator on

(02) 9295 8787

Once we have been advised of your wish for donations instead of flowers, we will arrange for Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute In Memoriam donation envelopes to be available at the funeral. These envelopes include a donation form and once they have been completed they should be collected and returned to us and the donations will be processed. We will send a tax deductible receipt to everyone who has provided their details.
