Queensland X-Ray's local causes

Queensland X-Ray sponsors a range of health and science causes and events, and our staff are great supporters of a good cause!

We run our own Australia's Biggest Morning Teas annually, and would encourage other businesses to support this fun event to raise funds for the Queensland Cancer Council.

We sponsor teams in Relay for Life. In 2011, our sponsored team raised just over $1900.

We are the corporate sponsors for the Chicks in Pink Annual Morning Tea, an event which aims to increase awareness of breast cancer, and raise funds for research and services at the Mater Hospital.

  • Movember for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Beyond Blue.
Our staff participate in Movember annually, growing their Mo’s to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. 

Queensland X-Ray donated $10,000 in 2011 to the Premier’s Flood Fund, which goes towards helping people affected by the Queensland floods and Tropical Cyclone Yasi. The Premier’s Flood Fund remains open for donations until the end of 2011.

Queensland X-Ray is a Gold Supporter of the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum, donating equipment and time equivalent to $20,000-$50,000. Queensland X-Ray at the Mater Private Hospital, Mackay, have provided access to CT scanning equipment, which creates 3D digital x-ray files that allow the Australian Age of Dinosaurs to see and research fossil bones including otherwise inaccessible internal structures. You can read about CT scans on ‘Banjo’ here.

  • Tour de Cure for the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia

2011 saw a team of intrepid Queensland X-Ray staff cycling from Townsville to Cairns to raise money for the Children's Cancer Institute Australia. Queensland X-Ray donated to the team’s Tour de Cure.

Queensland X-Ray is an annual sponsor of the Special Children’s Christmas Party which provides an unforgettable event to over 3000 disabled and disadvantaged children.

We support the Brainchild Foundation’s Annual Gala Ball. The Foundation raises funds to support and assist children diagnosed with brain and spinal cord tumours.

Queensland X-Ray sponsors St Vincent's Brisbane Charity Race Day, which is the major fundraising event for the St Vincent’s Brisbane Hospital. The funds raised in 2010 provided pressure relief mattresses and other vital equipment.

  • University Student Research

Queensland X-Ray supports University researchers who require access to x-ray and imaging machines. Most recently, we assisted a University of Queensland Marine Geology student with x-raying coral from Brisbane’s Moreton Bay region.

Queensland X-Ray, Fuji and Intellirad have provided the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital with a state of the art diagnostic imaging system. The system is similar to the version we use in our practices. Intellirad provided the Hospital with a PACS system. Having the images web-utilised means referrers such as Australia Zoo and local vets can view images of their patients on-line, just like any medical referrer. Currumbin Wildlife Hospital is one of the busiest in the world and sees over 6000 patients a year pass through its doors. This new equipment will continue to be supported by Queensland X-Ray, Intellirad and Fuji for the foreseeable future.

Queensland X-Ray has sponsored the annual AMAQ Charity Golf Day for 11 years running, and also makes annual contributions to this important charity.
