My Hospital Foundation

My Hospital Foundation A local, independent, community driven not-for-profit charity supporting public hospitals in the MHHS district. Gift Shop open 9.00am-3.00pm, Monday to Friday.

The Mackay Hospital Foundation is a local, independent, community driven not-for-profit charity undertaking fundraising and using donations to support the Mackay Base Hospital and all other public hospitals in the Mackay Hospital & Health Service district. Government funding provides essential health services but it cannot pay for everything. The Foundation’s role is to fill the gap; to provide those extras and support our regions public hospitals. All donations and raised funds for our district hospitals stay in our communities. Contact the Mackay Hospital Foundation to make it your 'charity of choice'.

🕯 National Day of Mourning – Bondi Beach 🕯

Members of the community are invited to observe one minute of silence at 6:01pm (AEST) on Thursday 22 January 2026, to honour those whose lives were lost and all those impacted by the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.

We are also encouraged to stand together in unity and compassion by:
• Coming together to share a meal and spend time with family and friends of all faiths and backgrounds
• Leaving a candle on your doorstep or windowsill as a symbol of remembrance, mourning, and solidarity with the Jewish community
• Taking part in one or more of the 15 suggested Mitzvot for Bondi, acts of kindness and service that honour life and community

In moments of grief, kindness and togetherness matter more than ever.
🤍 We remember.
🤍 We stand united.
🤍 We choose compassion.

Tropical Cyclone Koji has developed as a category 2 tropical cyclone and is forecast to continue a southerly track crossing the coast between Townsville and Bowen early Sunday morning.

The Tropical Cyclone Warning Zone extends from Innisfail to Mackay including Townsville, Bowen, Proserpine and Whitsundays Islands.

Intensive rainfall and damaging to locally destructive winds are forecast from later tonight continuing over the weekend.

People between Ayr and Townsville including Bowen and Airlie Beach must complete preparations now and prepare to take shelter in a safe place.

Residents further south to Mackay should take all necessary precautions now and listen to the next advice.

🏥 Our hospitals and health facilities in affected areas, particularly the Bowen and Proserpine emergency departments, remain open and staff are well prepared for the severe weather event.

☎️ Always call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency. For non urgent health advice 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84) is available 24 hours a day. 13HEALTH is a confidential phone service where you can talk to a registered nurse who can provide health information and assess symptoms.

And remember, if it's flooded, forget it. ⚠️
