A gift in your will
We understand that family comes first when planning for the future which is why we truly appreciate gifts left to our hospitals and services.
Every gift makes a difference and will help us to deliver the best in healthcare to future generations.
We recommend that you consult a solicitor or the NSW Trustee and Guardian to draft a will or have it updated. If you have a will already you can ask your solicitor to make an amendment using a codicil.
You might decide to gift:
- The residue of your estate or a percentage of the residue of your estate
- The whole of your estate or a percentage of your estate
- A specific amount.
You can also specify in your will which area within the Local Health District you wish your legacy to benefit, for example, children’s services, renal care, cancer services, mental health services, etc.
Suggested wording
“I bequeath to Central Coast Local Health District (specific gift / specified sum / percentage of estate / residue of estate) to (specific hospital/specific ward / department / community service to be used for purposes of medical equipment / research / education or at the discretion of the Hospital Executive for the areas of greatest need) and I declare that a receipt by the Chief Executive or other delegated authority shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my Executors.”
If you have already included a gift in your will or plan to do so, we would greatly appreciate if you wouuld let us know so we may acknowledge your generosity in your lifetime. Your privacy is a priority and we will treat your information with strictest confidence.
A gift in memory
Honour the memory of a loved one with a donation or collection at the funeral. If you would like to arrange a collection at the funeral ask the funeral director to contact us and we will arrange in memoriam envelopes to be provided.
Alternatively you can contact us on 02 4320 3659 and we will arrange for in memoriam envelopes to be delivered to you.
In memoriam envelopes enable family and friends to make a donation at the funeral service. If they choose to include their details on the envelope, where marked, we can provide an individual tax receipt and letter of thanks.
If you would like to make a donation in memory of a loved one you can use any of the donation options. If you provide the contact details of the family of your loved one we will let them know about your donation.
