Fancy Friday at Murdoch Community Hospice

Developed as an initiative by St John of God Murdoch Community Hospice, Fancy Friday is the day caregivers can wear colourful or bright scrub tops for a good cause.

22 Feb 2021

Every time a Hospice caregiver wears their colourful scrubs on a Friday, they must donate a $1 into the collection box for the St John of God Murdoch Hospital charity project, Djaalinj Waakinj.

The Djaalinj Waakinj Project is a partnership between the Telethon Kids Institute, Paediatric Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon Dr George Sim and St John of God Murdoch Hospital. It offers essential surgery at no cost and minimal wait times for a group of Aboriginal children suffering severe ear infections, to ensure they receive crucial treatment as early as possible.

The project is named Djaalinj Waakinj or 'listening and hearing' in Noongar language.
