Why a Gift in Your Will Matters
For over 30 years, Wesley Research Institute has paved the way for better healthcare. Our dedicated team of researchers, scientists and clinicians believes in a future where today’s diseases no longer define lives.
We are committed to impactful research that improves health outcomes for patients with chronic disease, giving people more time with their families and greater quality of life. Our role is not just to pursue discovery, but to ensure research translates into better care, better outcomes and better lives.
By leaving a gift in your Will to Wesley Research Institute, you can turn great ideas into clinical advancements that promise a better tomorrow for your loved ones and generations to come.
“The research we pursue today stands on the generosity of those who came before us. By leaving a gift in your Will, you help ensure discovery, care and hope continue long into the future.”
- Andrew Barron, CEO, Wesley Research Institute

Stories from our community
Members of our community share why they chose to leave a gift in their Will to medical research.
Brenda & Tony
When Brenda’s husband Tony was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer seven years ago, it was like one minute their life was normal, and the next they’d been hit with a bombshell. Following keyhole surgery, he made a full recovery.
The experience put a new focus on their life. Before, they were sailing along enjoying retirement. Suddenly, reality struck. They knew it was time to get their affairs in order.
Leaving a gift to medical research in their Wills was their way of thanking the medical profession, by contributing to continuing research.
“I believe in leaving the world better than I found it.” — Tony
“I’ve seen the power of medical research with my own eyes.” — Brenda
