Our Mission
Your wellbeing matters—to your patients, your profession, and your family. Our goal is to ensure that when you’re the one in need, you’re not left to struggle alone.
Our Vision
Every donation, no matter the size, directly changes lives. By contributing, you become part of a long tradition of compassion, ensuring that when doctors and their families face hardship, help is always within reach.
How We Help
We offer short-term financial assistance to doctors and their families during crises, and as we continue to grow our resources, we aim to extend this support into longer-term solutions.
Supporting the Medical Community
As a doctor, you’ve dedicated your life to caring for others. Yet even the strongest among us can face times of unexpected hardship. Whether through illness, loss, or sudden financial distress, the challenges can feel overwhelming—for you and for those you love.
Since 1885, the Medical Benevolent Association of South Australia (MBASA) has stood as a quiet yet unwavering pillar of support for doctors and their families across South Australia. We understand the unique pressures and responsibilities that come with a medical career, and we believe that you deserve help when you need it most.
From crisis to independence
A Tradition of Care — And a Future to Build
For over 140 years, the Medical Benevolent Association of South Australia (MBASA) has supported doctors and their families facing financial hardship. We are a not-for-profit charity run by doctors, for doctors.
