Leave a bequest

Make a lasting impression - it's easy to add us to your Will

By remembering Médecins Sans Frontières Australia with a bequest in your Will, you are making a unique commitment to a cause that makes a real difference to people’s lives.

Your legacy to Médecins Sans Frontières Australia will help us to continue to provide medical aid where and when it is needed most. 

We rely on our supporters’ generosity to enable us to respond immediately and effectively to populations in need of urgent medical assistance. Without you our work would simply not be possible. Whatever the amount, your contribution is invaluable.

If you have already made a Will

If you have already made a Will, but would like to leave a gift to Médecins Sans Frontières Australia, you can do so by making a simple addition to your existing Will. This is called a codicil.

If you have not already made a Will

If you do not have a Will at the moment, we would strongly advise you to see a solicitor. Although you will have to pay a fee, you will receive professional advice and can be sure that your wishes are achieved.
