MBF Foundation was established as part of MBF's ongoing contribution and commitment to the community.

MBF Foundation is a charitable institution that supports and manages important community health initiatives using a portion of the MBF Group's investment income each year.

MBF Foundation invests in partnerships and activities that promote:

• health research;

• health education; and

• programs for leading healthy lives.

The Foundation's current core focus areas for investment are:

• Wellness and obesity;

• Healthy ageing; and

• Keeping health care affordable.

MBF Foundation proactively seeks out partnerships with other organisations to deliver community benefit in the above areas. We are extremely pleased to be working with Global Access Partners on the Open Forum. We hope to use this innovative platform to deliver focused and informed community dialogue on current issues in health and health policy that can ultimately be used in the ongoing development and improvement of Australia’s health and wellbeing.
