The Torie Finnane Foundation (TFF) is dedicated to improving maternity, neonatal and women’s health outcomes in regional and rural communities. Our work is grounded in lived experience — Torie Finnane, a much-loved regional woman, mother and midwife, died suddenly from a rapidly progressing infectious disease in the postnatal period.
Our work focuses on strengthening systems that support families through fertility, pregnancy, birth and early parenting — with a particular focus on equitable access to services regardless of postcode.
TFF operates across four strategic pillars:
- Investing in critical maternity and neonatal care infrastructure
- Uplifting regional midwifery and nursing through professional development
- Investing in research to identify the most impactful improvements in regional care
- Purchasing equipment for maternity units and special care nurseries
Any funds raised, no matter how large or small will make a big difference to improving regional Maternity services.
