The installation of new awnings at the Dr. Julie Zrna Centre is now complete thanks to the Community Bank Wentworth & District's generous $10,000 contribution via its 2025/2026 Community Grants Program.
The contribution builds on the $50,000 previously donated by Community Bank Wentworth & District to support the Dr. Julie Zrna Centre, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to supporting patients and families from across the region.
Community Bank Wentworth & District Director Glenn Thompson said the Bank recognised the importance of the Centre, particularly for people from the Wentworth local government area.
“Wentworth District Capital Limited understands there is a great need for additional supports for our community during cancer treatment. We want all help and support accessible to our community during this very challenging time,” Mr Thompson said.
“We wanted to support a facility that offers our community access to quality care, support and facilities, helping patients and their families feel supported during what can be a difficult and uncertain time.”
The new awnings, installed in the apartments’ courtyards, provide much-needed shade while also adding privacy and creating a more comfortable outdoor area where guests can rest and spend time with their loved ones.
Mr Thompson said for Community Bank Wentworth & District, supporting health and wellbeing initiatives remains an important priority.
“Our community is at the heart of everything we do. Supporting the health and wellbeing of people across Sunraysia and Wentworth is a key priority for us. We want people and their families to feel cared for and supported, particularly during challenging times.”
Mildura Health Foundation Chair Terry Hill said the Foundation greatly valued the Community Bank’s continued commitment to the Centre.
“To have Community Bank Wentworth & District continue to support the Dr. Julie Zrna Centre means a great deal to us,” Mr Hill said.
“Their generosity is helping us make the Centre the best possible home away from home for people who need to travel for treatment, and we sincerely thank them for once again supporting our patients and their families.”
