How do I check if any type of fundraising by or for The Wesley Hospital and Choices Cancer Support Centre is a scam?

expand_more expand_less

While we would love to see all technology used to make the world a better place, some people use technology to mirror non-profit organisations- but who don’t have the non-profits important cause at heart. The Wesley Hospital is a registered Australian charity, as part of UnitingCare QLD, and we follow all fundraising and government legislation.

Our mail and email fundraising will always have The Wesley Hospital brand on it, communicate with you from an official Wesley or UnitingCare email address such as fundraising@wesley.com.au, and direct you to our websites – wesley.com.au or give.wesley.com.au.

If someone is raising funds on behalf of The Wesley Hospital or Choices Cancer Support Centre, their online donation page should start with give.wesley.com.au too.

If you see, read or hear something that you think isn’t quite right and want to check it with us – we’d definitely like to know too – reach out to our fundraising team on 1800 961 331 or fundraising@wesley.com.au.
