INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL AID FOR CHILDREN: ROMAC

ROMAC is providing surgery to children in need the world over.

What is ROMAC?

The Rotary Overseas Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) program reaches out to all children in underdeveloped countries to bring them to Australia for medical operations that will in some cases save their lives and in other cases restore their bodies and provide them with a dignified future.

Over three hundred and sixty (360) children have now had their lives transformed by successful major and intricate surgery.

Great support for ROMAC continues to come from the medical profession and hospitals. Without their support, the cost of the medical services would make it impossible for ROMAC to continue its work.

The ROMAC Trust fund continues to grow towards its target of $2 million when it is expected the income of the fund will help it to become self-sufficient.

Rotarians in Rotary District 9800 assist where possible via direct contributions or special functions to raise money for the work of ROMAC and with practical help when patients arrive in Victoria.

How Can You Get Involved or Help Out?

ROMAC relies on donations and contributions from Rotarians and the wider community to fulfill its purpose.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible, and you can donate in a variety of ways:

Programs like this one rely on the efforts of volunteer Rotarians, whose time and effort has enabled the children throughout the world to come to Australia for surgery.

We also gratefully rely on the contributions of our wonderful partners and the donations from the public to make it all happen.
