Melbourne Fundraising Lunch | Climate Health Event

Sunday 22 June 2025 | 12:00 to 1:45PM | North Fitzroy Library, Bagung Magali Community Room, VIC

Together, we can power hospitals with clean energy.

Join us to celebrate 10 years of Healthy Futures and raise critical funds for our All-Electric Healthy Hospitals Campaign, driving Australia’s transition to fossil-free healthcare.

This fundraising lunch is more than a celebration. It’s a chance to drive real healthcare climate action in Australia: cutting hospital emissions, promoting renewable energy in healthcare and protecting community health.

Enjoy a plant-based grazing lunch, hear from leaders in hospital electrification and climate advocacy and support one of Australia’s leading sustainable healthcare campaigns.

What to Expect

• A beautiful plant-based lunch in Melbourne’s inner north
• Talks from experts in healthcare sustainability and climate action
  • Dr Selina Namchee Lo: Executive Director of the Australian Global Health Alliance and Consulting Editor at The Lancet 
  • Dr Harry Jennens & Dr Kate Lardner: Co-Founders of Healthy Futures
  • Ursula Alquier: Lead Campaigner All-Electric Healthy Hospitals, Healthy Futures
• Networking with healthcare professionals, climate advocates and not-for-profit leaders
• A chance to contribute to one of Australia’s fastest-growing climate-health campaigns

Why Support This Sustainable Healthcare Fundraiser?

Australia’s hospitals are still powered by fossil fuels—putting patients, communities and the climate at risk. Our All-Electric Healthy Hospitals campaign is working to change that.

By attending this event, you’ll help fund:

• Advocacy to electrify major hospital systems
• Training and mobilising healthcare workers as climate leaders
• Community education and policy engagement

How to Attend

RSVPs are essential. This is a free event made possible by generous supporters. During lunch, guests will be invited to make a contribution, whatever amount feels meaningful to them.

Can't attend? You can still contribute by donating or sponsor a healthcare student, nurse or community champion to attend in your place—helping grow the movement for hospital electrification.

Become a Lunch Host

Want to invite your network to something fun that also matters? 

Sign up to be a Lunch Host and invite up to 7 guests to share your table.

By filling a table, you’re not just bringing people together—you’re helping build a room full of connection, momentum and generosity. Hosts make this event possible by creating the kind of energy that inspires real action on hospital electrification.

We’ll provide everything you need—invites, talking points and a simple guide—to make it easy to bring your people into the movement.

Spaces are limited, so get in touch today!

Want to Get More Involved?

We’re also hosting a small in-person Strategy Session on Saturday 21 June (the day before the lunch). It’s a chance to better understand how Healthy Futures works behind the scenes, what support we need most, and how your skills or networks might help power the next chapter.

Join the Healthy Futures team for a deep dive into our Victorian campaign plans — and help shape the work that will feed into our national strategy later this year.

We’ll be discussing:

• Campaign priorities for Victoria

• Growing our healthcare worker engagement

• Fundraising to power our impact

Healthy Futures is a supporter-driven organisation, and your input is critical to making our campaigns effective and powerful.

Everyone is welcome — no prior experience or involvement needed.

Please RSVP so we can plan for numbers. We look forward to seeing you there!
