Our Story

A movement of mercy starts with a step.

Imagine Global was founded 8 years ago by medical students who are now doctors.

What first began as a humble university club has grown significantly in vision and size, and is now a registered Australian charity with DGR status,

It has 5 different community programs and aims to increase its impact across a wide range of underprivileged community sectors, both locally and internationally.

2013

The founding of Imagine UWA, created by medical students who bonded over a yearning to give back to the community through simple acts of kindness. Our first community program was Crisis Home Support, in partnership with Youth With a Mission (YWAM).

Formation of our first overseas humanitarian program: We collaborated with a surgical GP for a humanitarian trip to Siam Reap, Cambodia. A doctor and 2 medical students were sent from Imagine Global to support the team.
