Making a gift to RDNS through a bequest in your Will is a very special way to support our future.  RDNS would not exist today were it not for the generosity of past supporters who understood the importance of our work.

Bequests allow us to develop new services, buy much needed equipment, undertake research to improve care and to confidently plan for a future where we can continue our vital work.

All bequestors are invited to become members of our Lifetime Companions program, enjoying a special and close relationship with RDNS.

Including the correct wording of your bequest to RDNS in your Will is important to ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as you intended.

The following wording may be of assistance:

“I,______________________________devise and bequeath unto the Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS), 31 Alma Road, St Kilda, Victoria, 3182, for its general purpose (insert % of estate or residue of estate or sum of money or property/item). I direct that the receipt of the Chief Executive Officer or other proper officer shall be sufficient discharge to my Executor."

We also recommend that you discuss your intentions with your family and seek legal advice before altering your Will.
