Australian Friends of Shaare Zedek – A Zionism Victoria Affiliate
Australian Friends of Shaare Zedek Hospital raises funds and community support in Australia to back world-class medical care, research and humanitarian services at Shaare Zedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem – helping patients of all ages and backgrounds.
What they do
Support Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem by raising charitable funds in Australia, channeled toward lifesaving medical care, emergency response, neonatal, oncology, neurology and general patient services.
Run community fundraising campaigns and appeals (for example the annual “Shabbat Nachamu Appeal”) to supply vital hospital equipment — including for trauma, neurosurgery and specialised treatment units.
Facilitate charitable giving and donations from Australian supporters — allowing members of the community to contribute to Israel-based healthcare regardless of location.
Promote awareness in Australia of Shaare Zedek’s medical services, humanitarian work, and ongoing needs — building a bridge between Australian donors and Israeli healthcare.
Maintain volunteer-led structure — minimising overhead, so that donations go directly to medical and patient support rather than administrative costs.

Why Zionism Victoria Values Australian Friends of Shaare Zedek
We value Australian Friends of Shaare Zedek because they turn Jewish communal solidarity into real, life-saving medicine — bridging continents to support one of Israel’s most respected hospitals. Their work helps ensure high-quality healthcare and humanitarian aid is available at Shaare Zedek, while giving Australian Jews a tangible way to contribute meaningfully to Israel’s wellbeing. Their commitment, transparency about charity use, and community-driven fundraising resonate deeply with Zionist values of responsibility, solidarity and tikkun olam (repairing the world).
