Austal Giving
In 2006 the hardworking staff at Austal started their own version of the Freo Doctor Lottery and have retained that commitment to fundraising every year since. Austal Company matches every dollar raised by their employees and to date more than $250,000 has been donated to Spinnaker, meaning we can fund an additional research project each year.
“Austal is very proud of, and grateful for the opportunity to support the Spinnaker Health Research Foundation – to help fund medical research projects that are making a real difference to people’s lives in our local community.” said Paul Sparke, Austal’s Marketing Manager.
Paul said the team at Austal was really proud to have helped to achieve real breakthroughs in the treatment of a number of medical conditions over the past 14 years. “We look forward to continuing our valued relationship and building upon our past successes to help even more people in our community.”
