Aussies Helping Aussies

When Australians get sick, cost shouldn't stop them getting help.

We provide direct financial assistance for PBS prescriptions so no Australian has to choose between their health and their bills.

The issue we solve

The gap no one talks about

Australia's healthcare system leaves millions behind. Out-of-pocket medical costs continue to rise, and for too many Australians, getting the care they need simply isn't an option.

Specialist fees

Specialist consultations cost hundreds of dollars out of pocket — often completely unaffordable for those on low incomes or experiencing sudden hardship.

Prescriptions

Over 10% of Australians skip or ration essential medications due to cost — a dangerous reality with real health consequences that we work to change.

Medical equipment

Mobility aids, daily living devices and essential medical equipment can cost thousands — leaving many without the tools they need to manage their condition.

What we offer

Our programs & initiatives

Targeted support where it's needed most — from bridging financial gaps in healthcare to protecting vulnerable Australians navigating the NDIS.
