Centenary Institute launches major brand campaign: ‘Our nation’s silent heroes – Beaches to Benches’

Some of Australia’s most successful lifesavers don’t work on beaches; they work on benches. The benches in the laboratories at the Centenary Institute. That’s where some of the country’s most respected scientists are working to find cures for, life-threatening conditions such as cancer, inflammation and cardiovascular disease. Conditions, which will affect 75% of us at some point. Which means if you make a donation now, there’s a 75% chance that one day you’ll get your money back.

Please make a life saving donation today or call 1800 677 977.
