I-MED in the Community

The I-MED Network is committed to assisting those in need and we encourage our people to join with us whenever they can.

Workplace Giving

The I-MED Helping Hands Workplace Giving Program enables affordable staff giving through a transparent and trustworthy payroll donation program. Through this program our staff can chose to donate to our five workplace giving charity partners: beyondblue, Leukaemia Foundation, Make-a-Wish Foundation, McGrath Foundation and The Smith Family.

Community Sponsorship

Giving back to the community when there’s an important need is a priority at I-MED.

For the past two years the Network has donated $10 to the McGrath Foundation for every mammogram performed in any of our 200 clinics during October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 2010 I-MED Network donated over $109,000 and in 2011 I-MED clinics collectively expect to complete up to 10,000 mammograms and raise over $100,000. The money raised will support the addition of more McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia, as well as educating young women to be breast aware – for more information visit www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au.

Following the devastating Victorian bushfires in 2009, doctors and staff throughout the country personally donated $100,000 to the Red Cross Appeal which I-MED matched in funds and through the provision of specialist medical assistance, making a total contribution of $200,000.

Providing imaging services to those in need

In Queensland we provide imaging services free of charge to patients – generally children – from various parts of Asia suffering from severe facial deformities. They are brought to Brisbane for treatment by Rotary.

Further north, we send expert teams and equipment into remote indigenous communities in Arnhem Land to see to local diagnostic imaging needs. This is a vital service for people who, through the tyranny of distance, lack access to the best medical care.
