Gynaecological cancer research is critically underfunded and our initiatives and trials have mostly been made possible thanks to funding from the generosity of people like you. Leaving a bequest to ANZGOG is a great way to enable more research and leave a positive legacy behind for future women and their loved ones.
A LEGACY GIFT
Rose's gift that will impact generations
Rose Varga lived life on her own terms, travelling Australia in a Kombi van with her husband Des after they arrived as refugees from Hungary. She also understood the urgency of research into ovarian cancer. A clinical trial participant herself, Rose passed away at 81, leaving behind a legacy that continues to make a difference.
Through a gift in her Will, Rose helped launch the OASIS Initiative (Ovarian Cancer Alliance for Signal-Seeking clinical trials)—a groundbreaking world-class collaborative research program.
Rose’s generosity is transforming lives and this is the impact that you can have with a gift in your Will. With more funding, we can develop bodies of research and provide hope to women and their families for generations to come.

What is the most impactful way to leave a gift?
Giving a percentage of the residue or your entire estate is the most impactful way in which you can leave a gift in your Will.
But if you prefer, there are options like residual, pecuniary, or specific assets.
We recommend speaking with your solicitor about which option is best for you.
I don't have much to give, is it worth it?
Yes!
All gifts, no matter the size make a difference and can help fund great advancements in gynaecological cancer research.
That is also why we recommend leaving a portion of your estate rather than a fixed amount. When you leave a portion, you can ensure that your loved ones are cared for, as well as estate expenses and still be able to leave a gift to us.
How do I include you in my Will?
I (your name) give to the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ABN: 69 138 649 028):
______% of my residual estate.
To be applied for general purposes by ANZGOG as determined by its Directors. I declare that the receipt of an authorised office of ANZGOG will be sufficient discharge to my executors who will not be bound to see the application of the gift.
Should you prefer to use your own wording, or as recommended by your solicitor, we ask that please ensure you include our registered name: Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group and our ABN: 69 138 649 028.
