Receiving a cancer diagnosis is devastating for a patient.
At Bendigo Health we aim to treat patients closer to their homes and loved ones – from birth, continuing throughout their lifetime. Providing Excellent Care, Every Person, Every Time.
Fundraising has been an integral part of our history since the first Bendigo hospital in the 1800s, with our community as our biggest advocates. More recently, Dry July has become a significant initiative on our annual fundraising calendar, raising over $800,000 to support Bendigo Health’s cancer patients since 2014.
Funds from our 2025 Dry July campaign will improve the experience and outcomes for cancer patients by enhancing the equipment and support available through our Cancer Centre, community oncology program and cancer exercise rehabilitation program.

Important Note
Dry July is a fundraising campaign aimed at challenging social drinkers to change their habits for a month and make some healthy lifestyle changes. We would encourage people to drink responsibly and stick to the recommended daily guidelines for the rest of the year. We advise heavy drinkers or people dependent on alcohol to speak with their GP before signing up to Dry July.
