Hadassah Charity Limited

What Hadassah Charity Limited does

Hadassah Charity Limited (operating as Hadassah Australia) is an Australian nonprofit, public company limited by guarantee, headquartered in Caulfield, Melbourne, and incorporated on 17 June 2016. Founded in 2003, the organization exists to raise funds from Australian donors and channel them to Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem, supporting trauma care, rehabilitation, mental health, and collaborative medical research. It does not operate healthcare facilities directly and is not a technology company; its core "product" is donor stewardship and fundraising execution on behalf of an Israeli hospital system.

Hadassah Australia generates revenue through three primary streams: individual donations and regular giving (tax-deductible for contributions of AUD $2 and above), bequests and gifts in wills (legacy giving), and corporate partnerships aligned with CSR initiatives. Distribution occurs via an online donation platform, monthly recurring giving, community fundraising pages (including simcha-based giving for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, and birthdays), volunteer programs, and corporate channels. Marketing relies on monthly newsletters, webinars featuring Hadassah medical professionals, in-person community events at venues such as Emmy Monash aged care, PR in Australian Jewish media, and social media including a Nas Daily video reaching nearly 4 million views.

On the receiving end, Hadassah Medical Organization operates two Jerusalem hospital campuses — Ein Kerem (130+ departments) and Mount Scopus (30+ departments) — totaling 1,000+ beds, 31 operating rooms, 9 ICUs, and approximately 3,800 medical staff treating nearly one million patients annually. It carries out more than half of all hospital research in Israel and hosts the world's largest repository of Jewish community genetic data. Recent Australian-supported milestones include the phased opening of the Gandel Rehabilitation Center (140 beds, 250% capacity increase) in January 2024, the Hadassah-Helmsley Netivot medical center in February 2026, and a memorandum of understanding with Sydney's Wolper Jewish Hospital for genetics and rehabilitation collaboration. The organization is governed by a board led by Chair Dr Mark Suss, President Lynda Brest, and CEO Dr Nicole Brooks (appointed 2026, succeeding Dorit Jaffe).

Broad incumbents

• Australian Red Cross: Australia's largest humanitarian charity, raising funds for disaster relief, emergency response, and international humanitarian operations. Comparable in fundraising scale and donor-mobilization mechanics, though far broader in mission scope than Hadassah Australia's Israel-healthcare focus.
• UNICEF Australia: Australian fundraising arm of UNICEF raising tax-deductible donations from individuals, corporate partners, and schools for international child health and welfare programs. Directly comparable as a high-volume Australian donor-mobilization nonprofit for overseas healthcare and humanitarian causes.
• World Vision Australia: Large Australian international development NGO raising funds from Australian donors for overseas humanitarian and health programs. Comparable as a major Australian-headquartered nonprofit mobilizing mass donations for international causes, but operating across many countries rather than a single Israel focus.
• Oxfam Australia: Major Australian international development NGO raising funds for overseas humanitarian, health, and development programs. Comparable in fundraising scale and donor-engagement mechanics, though with a much broader geographic and thematic scope than Hadassah Australia's Israel focus.

Direct peers

• Magen David Adom Australia: Australian fundraising arm of Israel's national emergency medical service, raising donations for ambulances, blood services, and emergency medical equipment. Highly comparable as an Australian-registered nonprofit raising funds specifically for Israeli medical/emergency response.
• Jewish National Fund of Australia (JNF Australia): Australian fundraising arm of JNF raising tax-deductible donations for projects in Israel, with a parallel community-engagement and bequest program. Most directly comparable peer — Australian-headquartered, Israel-focused, donor-driven, offering bequest, monthly-giving, and corporate-partnership channels.
• Combined Jewish Appeal (CJA): Australian Jewish communal fundraising umbrella supporting multiple Israel and welfare causes. Comparable as a competing Australian donor channel for Israel-focused giving, sharing the same Australian Jewish donor base as Hadassah Australia.
• Keren Hayesod Australia: Australian fundraising operation for Keren Hayesod / United Israel Appeal, supporting Israeli social, educational, and humanitarian projects. Comparable as an Australian donor-mobilization nonprofit for Israel-focused causes competing in the same donor market.

Emerging players

• Israeli Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) Australia: Australian affiliate of a global nonprofit funding cancer research in Israel. Comparable as a small Australian-registered nonprofit raising tax-deductible donations from the Australian Jewish community specifically for Israeli medical research — directly overlapping Hadassah Australia's medical-research positioning.

Regional players

• AIJAC (Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council): Australian advocacy and education organization focused on Australia-Israel relations. Tangentially comparable as part of the same Australian-Israel philanthropic/advocacy ecosystem, though its focus is policy and education rather than health-related fundraising.
