Medi-Aid Centre Foundation, a Public Benevolent Institution and Registered Charity, was founded in 1973 by Dr John F Knight AM and his wife Noreen V Knight, RN.
Our mission is helping the elderly, particularly those who are frail, lack family support and housing and have no additional funds.
The foundation currently cares for around 500 people, 30% of whom contribute to the “resident funding housing scheme”.
The core activity for Medi-Aid is to purchase and maintain units for the accommodation of financially disadvantaged elderly people in Sydney and the Gold Coast. At any one time our properties accommodate between 300 to 400 people.
Medi-Aid provides the cost of replacement intraocular lenses (IOL) for elderly people who cannot afford health benefits, have little cash and are deemed to be too urgent to remain on the waiting list of a public hospital. Medi-Aid has funded over 600 IOLs at a cost of $1.3 million.
Medi-Aid has been helping Australians with affordable housing for over half a century. Join us in embarking on the next 50 years as we share invaluable insights and guidance to help you live your best life during your golden years. Your journey to Living Well starts here.
