Create a lasting legacy by supporting brain research
When you include a gift in your Will to The Florey you will be helping to:

Three simple steps: How to include a gift in your Will
Step 1
Think about what’s important to you. Writing or revising your Will to include a gift for The Florey’s brain research can be a simple and positive step in managing your future plans.
We recommend speaking with your solicitor for independent advice when updating your Will. We’d encourage you to discuss your wishes with your loved ones to ensure they understand why your gift is meaningful to you.
Step 2
Decide what type of gift you’d like to leave. There are several ways to include a bequest for The Florey:
- Residual (retains value): A percentage of, or the balance of your remaining estate after your loved ones and expenses are provided for.
- Pecuniary: A specific amount of money.
- Assets: The Florey is a deductible gift recipient and can receive certain assets, such as property or shares, without incurring capital gains tax (CGT).
- Gift in perpetuity: Significant contributions can be recognised in perpetuity. Please contact us to discuss your wishes.
Step 3
When you visit your solicitor to write or change your Will make sure you include:
- The correct registered name: The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health
- The Florey’s ABN: 92 124 762 027
