NAMBUCCA Valley Council has agreed to accept and administer monies that were raised by the local Nambucca Valley Dialysis Committee for the benefit of community members, in the form of a Dialysis Donations Program to dialysis patients.

There is a formal application process, and the donations are capped at $300 per application.

The form will be available on Council’s website, and the Policy in regard to administration can also be found on
Council’s website.

Any confidential or medical information will be kept securely by Council in line with privacy laws.

The donations program will open to applications from Monday, 20 February 2023.

The aim of the policy and the program is to support dialysis patients, and assist with transport costs and other expenses relating to receiving treatment, either in the Nambucca Valley or at other treatment centres.

Council has limited funds for this program and once funds are fully expended, donations will no longer be available for application.

“The Nambucca Valley Dialysis Committee has worked tirelessly to raise these funds, and as circumstances changed for the Committee, Council agreed to administer a Donations Program to assist those patients that the funds were raised for,” said Mayor Rhonda Hoban OAM.

“The applications process is considered a fair and equitable way to provide donations to those patients experiencing the challenges of regular dialysis treatment.”
