Asylum Healthcare

Our Asylum Healthcare Program provides essential medical care, nursing support, medications support and health advocacy to people seeking asylum. Many people seeking protection in Australia have disrupted or no access to Medicare. Many people also do not have work rights, do not have income support or are unemployed and rely on charitable organisations.

Please support us to support vulnerable people maintain access to

essential medications, pathology, radiology and medical care.

We have launched an urgent appeal as we are overwhelmed with demand and rely exclusively on donations.

Previous Goals

QUT Giving Day

WWG was one of 22 projects who pitched for support through the 2019 QUT Giving Day. We reached our tipping point target of $10k in 30 hours in order to convert it to $15k! The funds were channelled towards our unfunded and pro bono work.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Our inaugural comic relief show Laughter is the Best Medicine raised $36K in one afternoon through a sell-out show, raffles, donations and best of all, a fantastic show with some of Australia’s best comic talent. The funds went to support our unfunded work with people seeking asylum, particularly those who are Medicare ineligible.

Don’t Stand By Campaign

The inequities in the health system that lock people out had an enormous impact on WWG in 2017. We launched our Don’t Stand By Campaign to raise $25K in one month by shining the light on the facts of health inequity and passed our target by raising $28K.

Outcomes

WWG uses a social impact framework to measure outputs and outcomes to improve health and wellbeing and health equity for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

What Our Supporters Say.

At Budget Direct we are proud to partner with the World Wellness Group, particularly during the COVID impact period of 2020. We love their determination, dedication and commitment to the communities they support. In particular providing culturally appropriate health services to those on the margins of our communities. We are delighted to provide assistance & support to the team and look forward to supporting WWG in coming years.

Budget direct

The Muslim Charitable Foundation is proud to be associated with the World Wellness Group from almost its inception. We were happy to sponsor the supply of the initial medical equipment for the consulting room and to equip the Paediatric OT division. WWG plays a pivotal role in offering its wide range of services for the most vulnerable in our community and we at Muslim Charitable Foundation are proud and honoured to support such a noble and worthy service.

The English Family Foundation first supported WWG back in 2014 to focus on two key sustainability mechanisms to ensure the ongoing viability of their clinic. Right from the beginning this ground-breaking social enterprise was filling a significant void in healthcare within QLD with a smart, sustainable model with a big heart. Since 2014 we have witnessed their growth and have been honoured to support them more recently to both scale up further (which has positioned WWG strongly in the new world of health care by being an early adopter in telehealth) and to develop a social impact framework to measure their impressive impact. But our partnership has gone beyond pure grant-making, and we have so treasured the opportunity to walk with this visionary group through their journey to creating social change in our world.

We are proud to partner with World Wellness Group. Thanks to our support via workplace giving, they have been able to begin a treatment clinic for clients with chronic pain conditions who would otherwise face significant wait times in the public system. Our business approach emphasises integrity and kindness. For us giving back is more than a responsibility, it's a joy.

Allianz Partners

Risk Insights has been working alongside WWG for almost 2 years on data focused projects. We were initially drawn to WWG because of its dedication and commitment to health equity and the CALD community. They put their clients’ interests front and centre of everything they do. We worked with WWG to develop its Social Impact Framework and the underpinning data collection, analysis and visualisations. Working with WWG has expanded our knowledge of community led approaches to health and wellbeing. We will continue to support WWG’s use of data for better health and wellbeing outcomes.

Risk Insights

WWG is an inspiring, revolutionary health service that truly puts the community first. Having worked closely with them on a number of projects and also provided a number of small grants, we are well placed to know just how professional, lateral thinking and ethical their work is. It's been a pleasure to work alongside them and watch their evolution over the last 8 years.

One Health Organisation

ImpaQt Qld has been proud to support WWG over the last few years. We’ve had the privilege to work with the team on fundraising through QUT Giving Day (where we collectively raised over $15,000 in 24 hours) and on general business development. We see them as one of Brisbane’s most important health providers, offering tailored and culturally appropriate services to those who would otherwise be excluded from the healthcare system. As supporters of social enterprise and purposeful business in Queensland, we stand right behind them, and we look forward to seeing them scale their operations and continue to thrive.
