Charitable trusts give you the opportunity to keep giving to your chosen cause or charity - even after you're gone.

The Public Trustee currently administers a number of charitable trusts.

Dame Roma Mitchell Foundation

The Dame Roma Mitchell Foundation Trusts were established to provide financial assistance for:

  • young people (up to 29 years of age) who are, or have been under guardianship
  • children or young people from remote Aboriginal communities who have been placed in the care of their relatives.

The trust's focus is to contribute towards the achievement of personal goals, improved health and wellbeing and personal development of the recipients.

The Department for Child Protection provides the operational support for the trust.
